Me postulé a través de un reclutador. Acudí a una entrevista en Revolut (Londres, Inglaterra) en ene 2020
Entrevista
A lot of steps involved in interviews. The company is getting bigger so it makes sense but they ask for a lot of take home work. This is somewhat typical for larger companies but less common for startups. Coronavirus definitely seemed to play a role in delaying interview steps so hard to say if that issue was on Revolut's side.
Overall was a pretty typical interview. You can tell through the interviews what the work culture is like. They are very transparent.

What's an example of when you displayed the idea of "Never settle"?
Very kind. The questions weren’t easy, but with knowledge of database configurations, concurrency, locks, and some practical experience, you are able to answer them clearly, confidently, and effectively overall. It was good time.
Recruiter round, they’re basically looking for buzz words. They asked for my experiences in handling different scenarios, then other db and concurrent related questions . Overall it was straightforward, just go through other’s experiences here and you should be covered

Concurrency
Optimistic vs pessimistic locking
Db isolation levels
HR interview, coding interview, then system design interview. No specific feedback from them. I really thought I went well and answered everything at least reasonably, but didn't get an offer.
