Interview process
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.

Tips from the candidate
I would suggest to study relational DBs concurrency and isolation concepts, and practice traditional integration coding exercises with concurrent resources.
Company culture
Nothing since I didn't meet the team. However, Revolut has an intense rewarding culture - no WLB but strong bonus.
