Pros

- Remote work flexibility - Some kind and supportive colleagues - Many internal support channels available - Benefits package seemed solid

Cons

- Probation evaluation felt highly subjective and unfair. I received contradictory feedback (green light and positive feedback in the first part). But then later on at one point I was held accountable for bad code written long before I joined, which slowed down my own assigned tasks. It left me with the impression that passing was less about my actual contributions and more about circumstances outside my control - The overall team morale was very low. Most colleagues seemed unhappy, and the only jokes they made were about how relieved they were when Friday finally arrived or that they'd prefer working in the construction industry - Workload was overwhelming. On top of your assigned tasks, you constantly had to jump in and fix urgent issues in the system, making it nearly impossible to focus. Have never seen so many issues in the production environment before - Long hours are the norm. Typical workdays stretched from 9 a.m. to 7–8 p.m., with many people working until late at night and even on weekends. The work-life balance was essentially nonexistent Advice to candidates: If you value a healthy work–life balance with self-aware individuals, you may want to consider other options. The culture here felt overly robotic and purely performance-driven, leaving little room for genuine collaboration or job satisfaction.

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.
