Entrevista
I am writing to share my feedback on the interview process for the Senior Software Engineer position. While I have always admired Revolut’s products, I found the interview process to be quite disheartening.
I successfully passed all the stages, including the “Team Fit” interview. However, despite receiving positive feedback at each stage, I did not receive any response after the final interview. I reached out to the recruiter multiple times but was met with silence. This lack of communication was both unexpected and frustrating. This is something I cannot understand since they have lots of open positions...
The interview process itself was manageable with adequate preparation, though it did cover some less familiar topics. However, the overall experience was marred by the poor follow-up and communication.
In summary, while Revolut’s products are impressive, the interview process needs significant improvement. I would advise fellow software engineers to consider this aspect carefully before applying, as it can lead to a considerable waste of time.

Entrevista
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.

Entrevista
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.

Pergunta 1
Coding round for the Matrix grid problem for 60 min coding round
First Part of the problem

Second part of the problem (minesweeper game on Windows OS)
- Given a matrix fill with 'x', find number of minds adjacent to it
You need to solve both problems in 40 mins to qualify (First 10 mins Introduction, last 10 minutes is follow-up question)
Remember to ask follow-up questions else it mark as candidate isn't proactive in asking questions
2. System Design Round (90 mins)
They ask to design an internal developer portal that establishes a fully automated, version-control CI/CD pipeline at scale.
It basically involves designing the Internal developer, I started with requirements, non-funtional requirements, entities in system, I started with API design but they said it's okay to skip, and high level design.
I started with Component-Based Design where I drawn frontend, CLI, API Gateway, catalog services, ... and all other components of the developer portal
But they were interested in detailed CI/CD pipeline steps. This is where I screwed up; I caught the hint much later in the interview when there were 10 mins left, and I quickly drawn CI pipeline and a CD pipeline, but wasn't able to explain each step in the CD pipeline in detail.
They wanted a more comprehensive Workflow and Operational design of CI/CD pipeline instead of a component-based design of the internal developer portal.
Since I didn't complete the design, I was ruled out of the interview
