Pros

Salary is good Holiday from day 1 is good.

Cons

Toxic leadership - it comes from the top, abusive and bullying behaviour to get sh*t done. Values mean nothing and a lot of the Heads of departments and above are excessively oppressive, don't listen to feedback and they see themselves as the subject matter experts. Your performance is scrutinised every quarter which is oppressive, goals are changed or added at the last minute, task that were not agreed are added to your roadmap and all the extra work is not seen as you doing a good job, just that you haven't delivered on what you initially promised. Hard to deliver when you keep changing the finish line. For a business around for quite a few years now, so many processes and things are backwards. You have to raise a ticket for everything, you cant just speak to colleagues and get support, everything is tracked for the sake of performance. This leads to people being demotivated. Staff turnover is very high, so much so that some departments operate at 50% capacity and still there are issues when projects are not delivered, you need more people to deliver the projects. Strategic direction is lacking. But we also cant operate strategically when we have no staff, you get 100s of Slacks a day and are expected to work a ridiculous number of hours each week. I agree with the review below about the bonus structure being changed mid year and made harder to achieve, a big kick in the teeth and stinks but made by the leadership team who have very little experience of and don't understand people. Ignore the equity sign on bonus - it is monopoly money and means very little.

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.
