First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Rev.
Senior Software Engineer
So, my interview journey involved a recruiter chat, then a call with the hiring manager, and finally a panel interview. It was a pretty rough experience because after going through everything, I was told I couldn't be hired because the position was cut from the budget. Apparently, the team liked me, but the job I applied for just didn't exist anymore. This whole thing was super frustrating and felt like a complete waste of my time. The whole process stretched over two months, and the last month was me constantly chasing the recruiter for updates because they weren't getting back to me.
- Can you discuss the advantages and disadvantages of using REST APIs?
Software Engineer
I had a few one-on-one interviews. It started with a check for background and personality fit. Then, there were multiple interviews with team leads that focused on background and technical skills. Overall, about five interviews happened. They really paid attention to your background. The technical interview was tough, and the questions were related to the job. It was challenging, but not too much.
- Can you describe how you would design a specific part of your website?
Software Engineer
It was a 3 round interview. First was a telephone introduction. Round 1 had questions on technical and communication skills. Round 2 was about communication skills and knowledge about the role. Round 3 was the hr round and senior manager round. Be confident and give relevant answers.
