J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Revolut (Londres, Angleterre) en nov. 2024
Entretien
Be prepared to go through a 5 stage interview process..yes you read that right, 5. I started out our initial call with an internal recruiter and the experience quickly turned sour.
The recruiter's lack of technical knowledge was evident, and they seemed more interested in testing my ability to recall specific terminology rather than assessing my actual skills. Any answer that wasn't word-for-word accurate was met with condescending tone which was frustrating.
To my surprise, the recruiter told me I had moved on to the next stage, which was supposed to be a technical round. However, I soon realized that this was actually the first stage, and I was expected to proceed with the live coding round. The live coding round was a disaster. The interviewer was late, showed little interest in our interaction, and provided a vague problem description for a URL shortener challenge. I had to spend 15 minutes clarifying the requirements, which was unacceptable. I was expecting a more structured approach like a GitHub repository or a hackerrank interface.
After completing the challenge, I received a passive-aggressive email stating that they were looking for specific skill sets. In reality, it seemed they were looking for someone who could memorize a vast amount of technical terminology, rather than a developer with actual skills and experience.
Overall, I was disappointed and frustrated with the interview process. It was a waste of my time and energy, and I would not recommend this company to others.

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
