Pros

Smart, young people are everywhere. Revolut attracts great talent. The interviews were actually great. Pay was not bad. Despite the remote set up (another pro), some colleagues were good to work with. The product itself remains top notch.

Cons

I get that things change incredibly quick at Revolut, so what you've been promised at hiring may not be the same thing you arrive at a couple of months later. However in my case, the mismatch was gigantic. I was promised a team of 4-5 people - that was off the table. I was promised to work on a specific product that I was fond off - that was off the table. I was promised I'd work in a project-oriented fashion - but I soon realized that Operations Manager at Revolut means incredibly operational work (I should've seen it coming, given the job title..) at nitty-gritty levels nowhere near what I should have been doing at my seniority. You pair that with a mismatch in what Revolut likes to take pride in (e.g. great customer experience) and the actual real life (sell, sell, sell, who cares about customer experience, we need to sell). On top, you add a disorganized team with lack of middle management, a couple of people too full of themselves (tenure at the company beats all else at Revolut). There is the fact that 100% remote is nice, but when you don't even have a couple of onboarding days, I never saw ANYONE in person over the course of a few months - you just feel like a robot. I could go on and on - one more point is their unfair equity compensation scheme which doesn't really allow employees to part-take in increasing evaluation of the company, unless they've been there for a few years (since you get your equity as equivalent of $$ and not in number of shares, hence anything that hasn't vested isn't growing in value) Overall I think I got pretty unlucky, and my feedback seemed to have been taken when I handed in my resignation during the probation period. But the sheer amount of issues I witnessed must mean that clearly there's a deeper issue at hand that cannot be explained purely with being unlucky.

Hi, thank you for your message. We’re sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy your experience with us. We try to make sure we present the current situation accordingly during the recruitment process, but we're one of the fastest growing startups and the market changes rapidly. We want to make sure we're heading in the right direction - that’s why sometimes changes are coming faster than we expected. As a fast paced culture, we appreciate that Revolut might not be the right place for everyone - but our people achieve a huge amount and have a lot of fun. We are also improving our onboarding processes to make sure that everyone we hire can be happy and productive here. We wish you all the best and one more time thank you for your feedback. HR Team

Pros

A lot of ownership (depending on the manager) and many learning opportunities

Cons

Very poor company culture. The company does not care about its employees development at all, you are a pure number. People are not promoted based on skills and effort but merely based on politics. Thinking is also not appreciated. Line managers are extremely poor in terms of technical knowledge and managerial skills. There is an extremely high turnover rate due to this which makes working very complicated due to the associated knowledge culture.

H there, thank you for your feedback. We're glad you appreciate our ownership and learning opportunities. We're thrive seeing our people growing. We are still a very young business that has grown very quickly to meet the needs of our customers. We’re constantly looking to ensure that we support the people who enable us to create great products and support our customers. By intently listening to our employees, we've birthed new policies, such as our hybrid working arrangement, 60-day temporary working abroad flexibility, 2 extra wellbeing days, Team Engagement budgets or just recently RevManager Hub. Thanks to this initiative we will make sure our managers are better prepared for their work. We also have a very open culture and as you are a current employee we encourage to discuss any issues either with your function leader or HR. Thanks for all you do. We wish you all the best.

Hi, thank you for your review. We've put a lot of work to make sure our people can grow professionally. As we are a young business, we still work on improving some of our processes to make sure we offer the best possible experience to our Revoluters. Our People team works hard to ensure salary & benefits competitiveness across markets, although we're obviously in a very competitive market. We regularly assess and compare our people's pay to adjust it to the current benchmark. tPlease consider speaking up through our internal channels (Whistleblowing Portal) with detailed feedback so we can make Revolut a great place to work. We wish you best!
