Pros

Working with new technologies; Smart people from whom you can learn a lot; International environment, focus on the diversity and inclusion, Generally high ambitions of the organisation (ongoing development of the new products, new features and focus on entering new markets); Nice office; Global brand that still has rather positive, innovative image and a company that changed how incumbents approach their customers ;

Cons

Terrible bureaucracy, worse than in some large banks; Senior and c-suite management that came from incumbent institutions and is not suited for fast growing business; Group focusing on UK laws and regulations instead of on local ones; c-suite micromanagement;

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.

Not for everyone. There is a high bar in performance and all are expected to excel at work.
