Pros

Average paycheck, there are smart people

Cons

Goals are unclear and you can get fired for not reaching it. HR processes are just broken. It took 1.5 years to get a visa, every document request is jumping around tickets which have no guardrails to get something smoothly. A lot of friction in bureaucracy and no one knows anything. They got me the cheapest macbook with 16gb of ram which is a joke these days and especially with the state of internal software. Internal software is really slow, has a lot of tech debt, a lot of friction to do anything. No documentation, code is just spaghetti. To get your work done you'll depent on external teams which may not have desire helping you if you don't have common goals. Ignoring people in slack is a very usual thing. You have to find leverage to make people do what you need. You will have spying software on your laptop which will slow down everything and reduce battery life. You'll will also be forced to install corporate software on your personal smartphone. Paycheck is fine if you could work just working hours but when people work during weekends it seems like pay per hour is way below than market can offer you. Never let yourself depend on visa with this company, there is no job security no matter how hard you try if you were not lucky enough to get good project. In my last team 4 engineers were let go Unfortunately this was my worst career decision and it feels like I just lost a lot of time, didn't earn enough money and burned out.

Pros

Working at Revolut was one of the most rewarding experiences in my career. Every day brought something new to learn, and I was trusted with meaningful work from the beginning. The pace is fast, but that's exactly what helped me develop my analytical thinking, decision-making, and financial crime investigation skills. I genuinely enjoyed working with my team, they were approachable, knowledgeable, and always willing to help when needed. If you're someone who enjoys solving complex problems, taking ownership, and continuously learning, you'll appreciate the culture here. Looking back, I'm grateful for everything I learned during my time at Revolut.

Cons

The probation period can be quite challenging because the expectations are high from the start. There is a lot to learn in a relatively short period, and it can feel a little overwhelming initially. That said, once you adapt to the pace and understand the processes, it becomes much more manageable and rewarding.
