I interviewed at Revolut in the end of August 2025 and the process took 2 months (from the first interview to acceptance of the offer). It can be shorter for some people, but I tried to have the maximum time I could between interview stages. The recruiter informed me about all the stages I would go through, and we also had catch-up calls before each interview stage. That helped me a lot tbh.

• Stage 1, Screening: Recruiter asks simple questions, questions asked in every company.
• Stage 2, Live coding: Simple coding assignment with TDD. I used Spock, but you can use any framework you want. I covered all possible cases, but asked how I can test a function which returns random values. I got stuck on that one, but the interviewer gave me a hint that resulted in me answering the question correctly.
• Stage 3, Tech: I had 2 sections. First one is live Java coding again without tests and writing the same business logic in SQL in a thread-safe way. In the other half, the interviewer asked questions about concurrency, thread safety, DB transactions and management, microservices, and etc.
• Stage 4, System design: I was given a task to draw system architecture design for a system in the banking domain. The interviewer also asked to write down the table structure for this system.

After passing all these stages you are accepted as an SWE, but they have one more stage where you are matched with teams that are looking for developers. After this meeting, they can hire or not hire you based on those teams' feedback about you.

Which resilience design patterns are you aware of?
