Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Montenegro
Process
The hiring process is smooth, but it's more like cracking a tech interview. The hiring team is helpful throughout the process.
I haven't been involved in a long hiring process before, nor in system design or database sharding, etc.
If you received an interview invitation and are in a similar situation, I recommend watching some YouTube videos on areas where you feel less confident and reading articles, perhaps on how core banking works.
I guess this should be enough to crack the process. I did this after each step, which of course didn't help.
Good luck.
Questions
The first is a coding challenge. You are expecting to implement a hash map-based solution.
The second consists of questions about threading, database locks, ACID properties, sharding, etc.
The third is about system design. Mine was an ATM refill design.

Revolut Work Experiences
- 5.0Great place to grow as an engineer and collaborate with amazing peopleSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeMálaga, Andalusia, SpainNovember 25, 2025Pros: Truly a dream team, a clear and straightforward interview process, a good benefits package, an amazing onboarding experience, convenient internal tools, comprehensive documentation, and a clear career path.Cons: A huge part of compensation is performance-based, and performance metrics look subjective. High work pace and talent expectations might not be for everyone.
- 4.0You get a lot if you are willing to put time and effort into itSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeKrakowiany, PolandJune 13, 2025Pros: You get to touch and configure all layers of infrastructure. High standards on deliverables. Live product with high load specific challenges. Good compensation.Cons: If we are talking about the Retail app (where I work), don't go there if you are looking for a chill <8h per day work. You really need to show results and, the majority of the time, you actually need to work. Overtimes can happen, and management won't stop you from doing so, but I've never seen someone being forced to overtime. So, the level of stress here is higher than in places where I've worked before.
- 2.0Total management failureSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeMadrid, Community of Madrid, SpainJanuary 29, 2025Pros: - Great salary for the EUCons: - The line manager has no time. - The line manager has no interest in helping you. - The line manager leaves you without resources and then tanks your performance review. - The functional manager has no time. - The functional manager will back the line manager because they have been on the same team for years and come from the same (different) country than the one you work in or are from.
