Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Revolut (Portugal) nel mese di ott 2022
Colloquio
The first step of the interview consists of live coding in which you should code a simple Load Balancer or a URL Shortener.
As stated in many reviews, the problem with this interview in Revolut is that it's tough to know what the interviewer expects from you.
The guidelines state to keep it simple and focus on Core Java and code speed, but then you get rejected because you didn't use Mockito or injected an object by constructor.
In my case, the interviewer had also a strong accent and I couldn't understand half of what he was saying. He was not making any effort to make things more friendlier also.

How would you guarantee that two instances of the Load Balancer are the same?
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

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.
