Software Engineer, Backend Interview Experience - India

July 1, 2019
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied to Revolut in July 2019 and received a reply from HR regarding an HR discussion. After the discussion, the HR representative gave me a technical home task: to build a money transfer application. There were no detailed requirements, and I was asked to use common sense, with a one-week deadline.

I would like to warn everyone reading this review, especially those requiring work visas: please do not apply and waste your time. Companies like this provide abstract requirements and expect you to intuit their exact thoughts.

I developed the code and wasted three days. Then, I waited a week for a "no" from the recruiter. I followed all design principles, covered all test cases, applied common sense, and added functionalities such as commission deduction for international transfers. They considered this "over-engineering" and rejected me. A complete waste of time and effort.
