Thank you for your feedback, we’re really happy to know that you’re enjoying working with your peers. As a current employee, we’d ask you to please fill out the regular feedback surveys that are sent to you, these go to department heads so that we can look at what changes should be made at a department and team level. We’re still a relatively young company and we realise that our communications still have some development to go through, but our teams are working hard on this and please know that your feedback will be passed on.

Pros

You can accidentally get promoted for no achievements.

Cons

This company is a mess. The culture is at least a century behind the market. Every project turns into a mere chaos in no time. Do yourself a favour and find something better to do.

Pros

In order to thrive at Revolut, culture fit is really important. I see a lot of negative reviews stating bad management, and in a way I think this is highly driven by an extremely direct and no-BS communication style of the senior management. The narrative is highly focused on the need for all to be super performers (aka A players) and if you fall outside of this group, you'll be fired. Now, this sounds pretty rough to most people (and that is in a way understandable) and creates an impression that the company and/or senior management does not care about people. Guess what - other/bigger companies who are better at BSing and sugar coating also do not care, but there is more 'fake empathy' going on there. So I guess this is a question of culture/personality type - do you prefer straightforwardness and blunt communication or would you rather have the same stuff delivered in a corporate sugar coated/brainwash-y way? Each person would have a different response to that :) Based on this here are the Pros: -> moves fast, things get resolved quickly -> smart colleagues, especially in some departments. A players like working with A players -> high performance culture (good for those who are competitive and want to be no.1) -> to the point above, despite that, people are also friendly and backstabbing is not so common (as it is in corporate) -> management is actually here for the win and is relentless to reach its goals (this is good monetary-wise if you stick long term and see the company IPO)

Cons

Cons: -> senior management communication style is indeed rough/immature - rephrasing things may do wonders for the morale -> unexpected spikes in workload may occur - which makes work/life balance challenging -> [pre-covid] office perks are not that amazing - you have to wait till 7 pm for Deliveroo dinner and the breakfast provided is kind of basic (only 1 sugar free cereal was available, which were the plain outs, everything else was loaded with sugar) -> lack of narrative/culture/identity of being part of something awesome - there isn't a strong identity that creates a sense of community and belonging, something you can find in big tech companies
