Software Engineer Interview Experience - Portugal, Portugal
Process
The first step of the interview consists of live coding, in which you should code a simple Load Balancer or a URL Shortener.
As stated in many reviews, the problem with this interview at Revolut is that it's tough to know what the interviewer expects from you.
The guidelines state to keep it simple and focus on Core Java and code speed, but then you get rejected because you didn't use Mockito or inject an object by constructor.
In my case, the interviewer also had a strong accent, and I couldn't understand half of what he was saying. He was not making any effort to make things friendlier either.
Questions
How would you guarantee that two instances of the Load Balancer are the same?

Revolut Work Experiences
- 5.0Great Benefits, Awkward CoworkersSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeAugust 7, 2024Pros: Relocation, compensation, medical insurance, learning, development.Cons: location salary lack of remote positions slow onboarding sad coworkers
- 3.0Hard to be happy working thereSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeJune 30, 2022Pros: Product Benefits Pay Tech StackCons: Micromanagement. Everything burns every single day. Not a place to work for everyone.
- 4.0Generous Pay, Supportive TeamSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeJuly 10, 2022Pros: 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.
