Software Engineer Interview Experience - Athens, Greece

Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
Screening interview with an HR person.
Out of the blue, the HR person, instead of asking me behavioural or experience-related questions, started asking me technical questions. I haven't seen a funnier process than having a non-technical person asking about Hashmap complexity, Java concurrency, and SQL questions.
I felt so disturbed at that moment, and I instantly decided that I would not forward my candidacy with such a company.
Questions
Hashmal complexity, what is concurrency, ACID in SQL

Generous Pay, Supportive Team
Software Engineer • Former Employee
July 10, 2022
Pros: Pay. It's very generous.
Open and straightforward management, great ethics, great working culture. They don't cover things up; recruiters don't lie, management does not lie, and colleagues don't lie.
I loved my team there; they do have really good supportive teams and management. Yet somehow, no unique snowflakes.
Interesting and challenging work. You'll be able to learn there a lot.
Cons: I might be too negative here; I've failed my probation there, after all.
Relocation and visa support could be better.
I heard claims that Revolut employs the most skilled people. I doubt it. They are good, but they're not the most skilled, in my opinion.
Pace could be a bit overwhelming there. Revolut is very much not for everyone.
