Entretien
1. Home task
You are given a week to make REST-ish api for money transfer.
Reviewer may ask you rework the task, because he is not able to check `README.md` or check `gradle.build` script for requirements.
2. Tech interview with simple coding assignment
Very dry interview with interviewers are listening for keywords, no discussion question whatsoever.
Very simple coding assignment, you will get extra points in case of TDD-ing it
3. Final interview with two tech guys
Still very dry and shallow interview with tech guys listening to keywords. There is a _design session_, but it is not a discussion question and keyword is enough to pass it.
Overall experience is quite awful and close to a waste of time , interviewers behave like they are not interested in the process and have a lot of tickets to deliver in next couple of hours.
I could recommend this company as a warm up interview for position in other company.

The experience was disappointing and reflected a lack of professionalism.
The interaction gave the impression of a disorganised or potentially unhealthy work culture.
Answered most of the questions accurately and to the best of my ability.
The interview was initially scheduled for a short time slot. Toward the end, the interviewer asked for my availability and indicated that they would schedule a follow-up session to continue the discussion. However, no further communication or follow-up was received.

During the initial HR screening call, the recruiter explicitly stated that Revolut was not hiring for a specific team and that team fit would be determined only after the coding and system design stages.
However, after passing the screening, I received the following rejection message: “After carefully reviewing your experience, we've decided to move forward with candidates whose profiles more closely align with the specific requirements of the role. Please note that this decision is based on current team needs.”
This creates a clear inconsistency in the communication. If team allocation and specific requirements were to be evaluated only in later technical rounds, a rejection citing “current team needs” right after screening appears contradictory. Such practices can lead to candidates investing time in the interview process based on incomplete or misleading information at the early stage.

I interviewed for a Senior Software Engineer (Java) role.
The process was structured and fairly fast-paced: recruiter/screening conversation, technical discussions (coding and system design) focused on backend engineering and distributed systems, and a final manager/team-fit stage. Communication from recruiting was clear, and timelines were shared proactively. Overall, the process felt rigorous but very professional
