J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Revolut (Kraków) en janv. 2021
Entretien
They reached me out on Linkedin and I was told other person will reach out to me. Soon after i've had first phase of interview with HR so ordinary stuff about myself plus things and technologies used by Revolut. At the end there were some technical questions I think just for brief check out of the candidate. Then I was recommended for second phase of interview - livecoding. Before i was told that solutions should be simple and easy, so i kept that in mind. On the livecoding session there was me and amical developer and i was sharing my IDE and talking while resolving "incremental" tasls. He was sending requirements on chat incrementally, so at the beginning there was one task, and later additional "features" were arriving as well .
At the end after few days you receive answer with feedback (in short) "YOU SHOULD USE STRATEGY DESIGN PATTERN AND TDD AND INJECT SEOKEYWORD BY CONSTRUCTOR" xD
So I suggest you all to not do it easy and simple as I did. Obviously you need to align with the interview anwer key.

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

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.
