## Interview experiences

One interview experience has been shared:

- **[Revolut · 2 months ago](https://www.aced.io/experiences/revolut-senior-backend-engineer-interview-a5a374)** — Backend Engineer · Senior / L5

  > “Revolut processes are similar for all tracks. I was interviewing for AI platform but was given traditional Backend engineering questions: DB scale and concurrency, isolations levels, and multithreading. Things didn't go well because the interviewer was expecting a Product minded engineer when the role was about an AI platform engineer.”
