Observability Engineer Interview Experience - London, England
Process
3-4 stages of technical interviews, questions ranging from dashboard design to observability pipeline design to Kubernetes fundamentals.
The final stage was with somebody who was maybe an engineering director of sorts and seemed like they were the decision-maker, but they didn't even properly introduce themselves, so I'm not sure.
I felt that the technical interviewers were not knowledgeable enough to be able to understand the nuances of my answers, as they were all less experienced in the subject matter at hand than me. They were also all uncharismatic and seemed low-key depressed or angry at life.
I put interview difficulty as average because they were long and dry; the technical questions themselves were pretty easy.

- 1.0Worst Place to Work (ever)Senior Python Engineer • Former EmployeeLondon, England, United KingdomOctober 14, 2025Pros: High salary. Nothing else, really.Cons: Toxic culture. Toxic environment. Toxic coworkers. Incompetent managers. I would write a whole book to explain how terrible it is to work at Revolut, but I don't want to spend much more of my time on this company. Get ready to work countless extra hours to try to meet stupid deadlines. There is no clear direction, no clear objectives (they will ask you to do A but expect B instead), no team culture (two-faced people, everyone just working to save their own as.s). There are 3-month evaluation periods (you will get the results from the previous one when the next one is about to start, so get ready to be really stressed). There are internal jokes because of the high rotation of employees, etc., etc., etc. I'm still sitting here waiting for my manager and team leader to say goodbye. Amazing.
