Pros

* Quite high base pay

Cons

* The worst work culture I have experienced or heard of. * Terrible work life balance, you are expected to work long hours to deliver in improbable timelines set by managers. * Absolute lack of planning on the company level - as an individual, you are given a project that naturally requires you to collaborate with others (get their feedback/approval/code review etc). However, everyone else in the company is overworked and do not have time for you (nor were they told in advance they will need to work with you). It is then your job to harass others into sparing their time. * Gaslighting by management - during my exit interview, upper management tried to convince me that the reason for my quitting is not the problems I described about the company, but rather my suboptimal onboarding experience. * Extremely high attrition - naturally, most people do not want to stay here. Management seems happy to continue looking for people that don't mind these work conditions instead of improving anything. * Complete lack of diversity - the company culture is actively hostile to anyone who is interested in life outside of work and doesn't have a stay-at-home partner to support their overly long work hours + stress.

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.
