Process
I submitted my CS and received a response the next day. Then, I selected a time for a quick call with a recruiter. There was a brief discussion and eight basic questions about computer science. I answered these questions and then received an email with a test task. The task was to build a RESTful API for money transfer within a week.
I received feedback on my test task on the fifth working day, and then we scheduled a technical interview (two hours long). There were two interviewers. It was a typical interview with some discussion of my previous experience, a live coding task in my IDE, and some questions about programming. I received negative feedback the next day.
Even though I was rejected, we scheduled a meeting, and a recruiter provided feedback.

Revolut Work Experiences
- 5.0Going great so farBackend Engineer • Current EmployeeDubai, United Arab EmiratesOctober 30, 2025Pros: Everything from interviews to working my first months here was super smooth. The interviewers were very friendly and helpful, and didn't really mind if I messed up some minor things as long as I was thinking on the right path and logic. On the inside, it's a big team of very talented, skilled, and organized people, so it's a treat to be able to spend time with them and feel like I have the opportunity to learn a lot.Cons: Honestly, I can't think of anything major at the moment to consider a con.
- 4.0It's okay, but the pressure is highBackend Engineer • Current EmployeePorto, Oporto, PortugalAugust 11, 2025Pros: If you have nice performance reviews (which is possible), you'll make money. Technical complexity is challenging, and you can learn a lot. Work-life balance exists, and you can have all your vacations and day-offs without any problem. Company with a very good potential.Cons: Many things depend on your team and department, not on your actual performance. You have to work a lot and nothing is guaranteed to you. Your burn-out starts immediately or in a couple of months after you join and just never ends.
