Senior Backend Developer Interview Experience - United Kingdom
Process
Initial talk with recruiter with some technical questions, fairly simple and standard stuff. Code pairing with an engineer. Got a very simple problem to work on a library for generating short urls. This was a very bad experience as the interviewer made it very clear he would rather not be interviewing and that he didn’t think the company should be doing any hiring. Very unpleasant attitude throughout the interview.

Revolut Work Experiences
- 5.0Senior Backend DeveloperSenior Backend Developer • Current EmployeeMoscow, Moskva Oblast, RussiaMarch 4, 2019Pros: Good salary compensations, benefits, and options (I can say above market). No bureaucracy (I mean at all). Very flexible schedule (you can agree most things of working time with the product owner and team). There is a quite interesting scope of tasks, despite the fact this is a fintech startup. Working with an experienced, result-oriented team where your decisions matter.Cons: - Sometimes working on weekends. - Sometimes goals and bonuses are not clearly set. - There are also many routine tech tasks that you should do (just my personal opinion). - Difficult to start if you are a newcomer (there are no written standards, you learn them through existing code, lack of guidance).
