J'ai passé un entretien chez Revolut (Londres, Angleterre)
Entretien
3 stages, but you can't have them in one day, whole process took over month...
After every stage there is a feedback but on the last system design I have found two xenophobic russians
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Design URL shortener in stages, last one focuses on concurrency
Bank Account transfer with focus on concurrency
Some simple system to design with xenophobic russians
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

Question 1
Concurrency
Optimistic vs pessimistic locking
Db isolation levels
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.
