Pros

Good salary and highly technical people

Cons

This is by far the most dehumanizing, toxic, and dreadful workplace I've encountered. With over 10 years in fintech and startups, this environment tops my list for toxicity. The leadership, led by the CEO and his minions, perpetuates this toxic culture, viewing people solely as numbers and resources, never as humans. Managers and the culture here thrive on conflict, fostering an intensely combative atmosphere. Your peers and colleagues within your own team see you as an adversary, turning work into a perpetual mental chess match. Instead of support and collaboration, colleagues consistently aim to dominate. Even if you accept their feedback and suggestions in a friendly manner, they perceive it as their victory over you, rather than genuine cooperation. Those who succeed and advance are typically bootlickers, serving as guardians of this toxic culture. All managers and leads staunchly defend and uphold the CEO's aggressive and dehumanizing behavior with unwavering loyalty and conformity. However, the most appalling part unfolds during business and product reviews: constant exposure, humiliation, and retaliation are routine. The CEO subjects people to pure moral harassment, treating them like garbage at will. This environment breeds a cult-like atmosphere, where individuals exhaustively prepare for presentations and reviews to appease him, as if he were a tyrant deity. People practically bow down when humiliated, apologizing and promising to improve next time. This company epitomizes the worst of liberal financial mentality, where our salaries are deemed our only measure of respect. Those who stay endure out of necessity for the job, money, visa sponsorship, and financial stability for themselves and their families. Yet, it exacts a steep toll. Unless you're a robot, psychopath, or simply don't care, burnout and mental health issues are inevitable. Avoid this company at all costs.

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.
