Pros

I had some mixed feelings about joining Revolut, given some of the negative reviews and press I'd seen, but I'm happy to say that my experience has been overwhelmingly positive! It's unlike any environment I've worked in before (although joining a company during a pandemic is a new experience in itself), and it's probably not for everyone, but I can honestly say that I love it. Positives include: * the chance to work with A-players and be surrounded by smart, dedicated, passionate individuals * an amazing product and a clear vision for shaking up the financial services industry * a flexible working policy * intensely goal-driven but fair: you always know what you need to achieve and are pushed to prioritise and solve big problems * helpful and supportive colleagues and managers * culture and values that inspire me and that I can identify with * a great deal of autonomy to go out and get things done * a truly multicultural workforce and global outlook

Cons

I can't say I've come across any real negatives so far, but just a caveat that Revolut is not for everyone. You'll likely feel more at home if you've worked in technology and/or startups before, and perhaps also some international experience, especially in locations where the pace is a bit more hectic than the UK. Other things to note: * it's fast-paced startup and there's a lot to be done as quickly as possible; I haven't felt pressured to work extra hours, but you do need to be careful not to burn out. * the company sometimes suffers from a split personality: on the one hand it's finding its feet in the highly regulated world of finance, but it feels more like an innovative fintech focused almost entirely on building an exceptional product; this sometimes involves putting on different hats, depending on what you're doing * not enough female representation, especially in management (although that's partly to be expected in both finance and technology fields)

Hello! Thank you for sharing about your experience at length. We're glad you're enjoying our work environment, and that goes to show that you're a solid hire because as you've rightly said, Revolut isn't for everyone. Those who find Revolut to be a great culture fit for themselves will thrive and we're excited to see what you'll achieve! You've brought up a good point about female representation. We know we have a long way to go (the entire finance and tech industries do), and we're keen to increase the diversity of our teams and leadership. We've put in place targets to increase female representation in leadership, and have launched a "Women In Leadership" programme to accelerate progress in this area. Thank you for your commitment, and we wish you the very best!

Pros

- fast pace - some really talented people

Cons

- does not honor employment contract. Benefits promised in my contract were simply not honored. No apologies or any other form of compensation. - Horrible culture. Management shows no empathy or care for employees. - Little or no attention to risk management...i feel that ticking bomb is waiting to go off - no such thing as work life balance....management expects you to work at least 12 hours a day - after I resigned, my last pay cheque was lower then what I was expecting. E-mailed HR but has not received any response for nearly 2 month now.

Hello, thank you for your review. Every review is taken seriously and comments are investigated. Revolut's fast-paced, challenging work culture refects our youth and ambition. It's exciting and a culture and rate of experience and achievement in which many people thrive. We're concerned about your comments as we don't want that ambition to be realised at the expense of our people. While we share great ambitions we also share a great culture where we try to support our employees to be successful. As you'll know we work hard to maintain a robust culture of governance, risk and compliance, reinforced by mandatory training throughout the company. We're sorry if there was an error in your final pay. We would be glad to check this for you if you contact us at hr.uk@revolut.com. Good luck in your next role.
