Process
The first step was the call with HR, who outlined the details of the process.
Then there was a time-consuming take-home test project to build an iOS app. The project had vague requirements, and in my attempt to clarify what they were looking for, the recruiter, who acted as a proxy between me and the developers, responded with RTFM ("read the description").
After a couple of days of work on the project, I submitted it to the recruiter. A day later, I received a rejection. I still don't quite understand what they were looking for.
The test project itself was quite tedious and involved a lot of boilerplate.

Revolut Work Experiences
- 5.0A good big-tech company has its own pros and consSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeSeptember 21, 2024Pros: Interesting projects which make you never settle, opportunity to grow, and smart colleagues.Cons: Everything mentioned as pros is dependent on team/department.
- 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.
- 1.0Could be better with intentional improvementsSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeOctober 8, 2025Pros: - Good pay - Remote - Some good learning experienceCons: Very bad management. A lot of people with no management training somehow become managers and then ruin the lives of the people they are meant to manage. Work-life balance is team-dependent. You are given tasks that regularly make you work outside of work hours. You could see yourself working 10-13 hours daily, and this is very common. A good percentage of employees don't make it past probation. And trust me, it is not about those employees. There is no relationship whatsoever with your colleagues. The culture has turned everyone into a robot: just work and nothing else. If your manager doesn't like you, you are done for, regardless of whether you are good at your job or not.
