Colloquio
A recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn, and the process moved quickly. They provided a list of possible topics before each stage, although the range was very broad. The interviewers were rarely interested in the candidate’s thought process and instead expected specific answers and solutions. Even the initial HR screening included technical questions; however, the interviewers were not able to adequately evaluate the answers and seemed to be looking mainly for buzzwords. Overall, HR appeared uninterested in having a meaningful dialogue. Some interviewers rescheduled interviews without prior notification. Revolut is known for a high failure rate, so it can be useful to treat the process as a knowledge check rather than taking it too seriously.
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
Java, concurrency, databases, system design, performance optimizations etc. in other words there's a lot of ways to fail the interview. Not sure if the goal is to find out what you know or rather what you don't know.

Colloquio
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.

Colloquio
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.

Colloquio
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
