The process started with a 30-minute recruiter screening call over Google Meet. It included a brief introduction, motivation for joining Revolut, discussion of previous experience and impact, a few light iOS/technical scenario questions, and time to ask about the role and next steps. The next stage was described as an online coding test, followed by technical interviews if successful.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
They asked how I would structure and test an iOS feature that updates financial data frequently, including how I would handle architecture, async updates, cancellation, and stale responses.
J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Revolut
Entretien
1. Recruiter 2. hackerrank test 3. Live coding. I do not understand why would companies nowadays think it's a good idea to do live coding, especially with developers which are not prepared at all to deal with people. As a person who suffers with anxiety, it is the hardest thing to go through one of these, in which you get judged by the second. That being said, up to the live coding interview, I was quite enjoying the process as I really thought of Revolut as a good company, (un)fortunately, this interview made me change my mind about it. The round of presentation took 5 seconds each person(it was one shadow developer, the interviewer and me), it didn't seem like they wanted to get to know me at all nor talk about them. I felt like I was "candidate #412". Then it started and I got nervous as I would not understand what the interviewer actually wanted and as I would ask, it honestly felt like he was doing me a favor by being there. At some point it just got to an awkward silence and I started counting the minutes for it to be over, the interviewer would not "read the room" to see the amount of pressure that was there, the shadow developer seemed way more prepared as I could notice through his body language and facial expressions.
J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Revolut en mars 2024
