Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Berlin, Germany
December 1, 2020
Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
Two screening calls (the second one technical). The third interview was a live coding interview where I was asked to implement a URL shortener. The interviewer was not friendly and didn't ask any personal questions. They were just rushing to implementation and technical discussions, which didn't make me feel like we were working together. Kind of disappointing.
Questions
Given a string, write a program that will output the string after a fixed URL.
Implement URL shortener and add tests to it.

Dynamic & Rewarding
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
June 11, 2025
Pros: Revolut is a very dynamic environment with goals always set high. It's a perfect place for ambitious people who want to deliver high-quality products and want to have influence on details that matter for users of the app. There is a constant discussion around goals, priorities, and designs.
Big advantage is fully remote work in European hours (and not many meetings), which allows to maximize efficient use of work time and balance it with personal life.
Cons: Work at Revolut is demanding, the pace is high, and the domain is complex, so it might be challenging.

Be ready to learn and push a lot

Pros: A lot of opportunities for growth if you are eager to deliver and improve despite obstacles. Good compensation package, nice and smart people to work with. Good culture.
Cons: Intermediate goals can be unclear, so be ready to decompose big goals and constantly change your lens, clarify, and learn what the expected business impact is from your actions.
Sometimes company-level mandatory technical changes can lead to unexpected delays in deliveries.
Work-life balance can be hard to maintain, especially if you don't have the "first do the most important 20% to deliver 80% of the impact" skill.
