I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Revolut (London, England) in Aug 2024
Interview
In the beginning the recruiters shared preparation material, which turned out to be very helpful in the case of Revolut: the process is covered extensively here.
3 stages:
1) Leetcode - Easy + Medium Task; the topics of the tasks overlap with the ones provided in the preparation materials.
2) ML 1: basics ML questions, focus is on some math, specifically probability and classic ml models + 2 math tasks to solve
2) ML 2: domain-specific ml (more advanced and high level topics
too long process. many steps. strange livecoding where after an optimal solution they ask you about another optimal solution. A little annoying ML interview where you have to solve basic theory of probability tasks for senior position
Rapid-fire format — interviewer moved through topics quickly, frequently interrupting to redirect when answers got too long or off-track. Several questions were skipped due to time pressure or when the candidate struggled to formulate a clear answer
What I appreciated most was the transparency. The recruiters kept me updated at every stage, and the interviewers were clearly experts in their fields. They didn't just look for the "right" answer but were interested in my thought process and how I handle edge cases in data. The technical discussions were intellectually stimulating rather than intimidating.
