I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut (Warsaw, Masovia) in Nov 2022
Interview
A few stages. Starts with live coding interview, then tech conversation and system design. All focused on solving some problem with given requirements.
Before every stage a recruiter sends details on how to prepare to each step. It is crucial to familiarise with them and prepare well.

Question 1
A development task with many steps that and more and more requirements
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
