Pros
- People: You’re working with super smart & dedicated people - Compensation: Above market rate base, plus vested options (that mature over 3/5 yr period) - Products: Really interesting to work with so many innovative services - Global presence: Working with colleagues across the world, & to varying global reg standards (it’s interesting) - Remote working - Meritocracy : Rewarded by your work alone. In my experience there’s no discrimination, you can be yourself at work, so long as you get the job done!
Cons
- Working demands: It’s a tough place to work. You have autonomy, as a remote worker, but it’s typical to be logged in for longer than you’re paid to work in order to meet the demands and metrics of your role. - Not a good place to work if you have kids or caring responsibilities. You may think you can juggle the two, but at Rev, it’s impossible. Managers and people are great, but by design the metric/accountability culture squeezes as much as they can out of employees. You’re forced (in the UK) to sign a waiver to opt out of working time regulations:/ - Probation periods: 3-6 months, many people leave or are forced to leave during this period. - Hire & fire culture: There’s a reason Rev are always hiring, and it’s not purely down to growth. If you don’t meet the fast paced, dedicated culture, you won’t be there long.
