Pros

- hot brand (recognizable by other employers) - friendly peers - decent compensation + benefits + biannual bonuses - you can be promoted once per every 12 months - being a part of a game-changing company with a great product - if you will manage here, most likely you will manage everywhere else - diversity and inclusion

Cons

- very limited room for development - micromanagement, literally everywhere - no work-life balance (working 24h including weekends and Bank Holidays) - no space for creativity, employees' only task is to get it done, providing feedback is more for fun than for actual purposes - general atmosphere in the company and constant pressure (high staff turnover)

HI! Thank you for taking time to write us a review. We want our Revoluters to do their best work with us, so thank you for recognising the benefits that we have worked so hard to make happen. We’re proud of our ambition, and we know our goals demand a lot from people - but that should never have a negative impact on our employees. We know that the pace at Revolut isn't for everyone but we're glad that the thousands who stay the course are energised by challenging each other to achieve the best possible outcome. We wish you the best.

Pros

Company raised funding recently hence assuming the hiring is at full swing. That's all to say.

Cons

Zero support from manager and team. The HR team itself isn't aware about the happenings of the company and the procedures. Worst on-boarding process. You are left to work on your own without any guidance. Seems the culture of the company is only on paper without any implementation.

Hi! We are sorry to hear about your negative experience - thank you for your feedback. We strive to create an inspiring, happy workplace where everyone feels valued. We listen to our people and try to ensure that all voices are heard, that we are working smartly not just hard and that we can all get a reasonable balance between work and the rest of life. That’s why we implemented hybrid working, up to two months working abroad and, this year, two extra well being days to take when you need them. We hear your concerns. We're a fast moving business but we want to ensure that all our people get the right support and guidance. We wish you all the best in your future career.

Pros

Great salary or package with no extra benefits.

Cons

No clear boundaries and role definition for engineering and product departments. Projects are mostly driven by Product owners with very little say from engineers. Micro-management by Product Owners which is justified as POs are concerned about the product delivery. (This is a serious problem as per me as Micro-Management is not even considered worth solving, instead is justified by saying that POs are more concerned and indirectly saying that engineers are not concerned and this shows the lack of trust between the two groups) No clear career progression framework, employees are simply promoted based on project delivery (without even validating the quality of delivered product) and with no proper 360 degree feedback compilation. Revolut have some young talented people at prominent positions who consider their way of working as the only correct way and doesn’t even bother to understand other perspectives and concerns with the approach followed.

Hi there, thank you for your comment. Companies take many approaches to engineering and product ownership and our approach may not be the same as your experience elsewhere. It is not that any team is more important than the other or to imply any lack of trust or respect. Product teams have a wider overview of everything related to the product (GTM, roadmaps, information from key stakeholders) so we ask that other teams take their lead. We'd like to believe that all our people are as open to alternative perspectives as they are talented. If this wasn't your experience, we wish you had raised your concerns through our internal channels where someone may have been able to help. We wish you the best in your next step.
