Process
I have made it to the system design session. The first two were pretty smooth, challenging but fair.
My feeling changed when I finished the system design session. I felt like the interview was kind of closed, with an expected solution instead of an open question, because all the questions were: "Could this work if we use this instead? Let's change it."
This left me with a bittersweet feeling of not having had a fair chance to shine and a fair evaluation.
Questions
They were questions related to changes that the interviewer wanted on the project. I won't disclose them because it's not fair towards Revolut.

Pros: Things move fast, and you're constantly working on new things and making impactful decisions.
You own what you do and have a broad range of permissions and scope to manage your work.
Colleagues across the whole company are friendly and easy to work with.
I've noticed many belligerent or overly aggressive people move along to opportunities at a different company.
Code quality is very high, and you get the sense that you're working with very capable and experienced engineers on state-of-the-art systems.
Cons: There is a lot of tech debt and reluctance to improve the codebase.
My team doesn't have the headcount to manage what's requested of us, and the state of the product is affected.
I can only speak for my team in this regard, however, as mentioned, I feel that the wider state of the software is excellent.

Pros: As an engineer, you will not work with big frameworks like Spring. This means you will be able to understand how your application works in detail.
As an engineer, you will have great production experience with high load, collecting metrics, logs, alerts, and so on.
As an engineer, you will work at a company that cares about its own product and drives it as much as possible.
As an engineer, you will work with other great engineers and people. You will gain your best networking experience in your life.
You will have a top market salary.
Cons: I have worked at a time of huge company growth. Some processes were messed up, and we didn't have time for tech debt, for example. But it is something you expect during such big growth.
