Senior Front End Developer Interview Experience - Italy

August 1, 2019

Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process lasted a month. The first call was with the recruiter, who assigned a simple take-home test.

Next, I had a call with two developers (one of them was the lead). The live coding was a test with "tricked" plain JS questions.

In the end, I was refused, with the reason given that I had some lacks in JS knowledge.

Questions

Questions about React lifecycles, Redux, and the "tricked" JS live coding test.

Revolut Work Experiences

Worst working experience I’ve had

Senior Front End Developer • Current Employee

October 20, 2022

Pros: Good compensation, recognizable brand name.

Cons: The people. The environment in my team is downright hostile. The company fosters a competitive work environment, where you do better if those around you do worse. There is no empathy, no personal connection between colleagues. The deadlines are imposed instead of negotiated.

Pros: • The work you do is pretty fun. • You get to see your work pretty often among real users (friends). • There are many teams and many options for you to work on. • The app is nice and has a great UX, and the standards for this are pretty high. • You have the chance to take decisions and make an impact.

Cons: • Pretty poor work-life balance. • It depends on what team you get to work with, but usually there is a lot of work to do with harsh deadlines, and you often have to work more than 8 hours. • Sometimes things move slowly, and you often have to ping a lot of other teams in order to get what you need, which can become frustrating. • Pretty hard to advance unless you really work extra.
