      It’s a bit of a roulette, may be ok, may be terrible

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent pay, but not something you wouldn’t get somewhere else. You may be lucky enough to end up in a good team, with colleagues sharing your mindset. Or not.

      Cons

      Can’t stress enough how much senior managament lacks leadership. However, it doesn’t look like something is going to change. They try to sell you some ideas like “hypergrowth”, “not for everyone” just to mask out the demeaning and toxic way in which senior management behaves. From engineering point of view, don’t expect a consistent progress in your career. You’re hired to get it done, not to come up with ideas. Processes are chaotic and very few things are actually streamlined. Some people are still working towards proving themselves, so 10-12 hours work days are a thing. If you don’t do it, don’t ever expect any kind of meaningful recognition. Work smart, not hard, might be the case, but, let’s not forget, they hire smart people. Quite a few experienced and good engineers have either left or started laying low, just because things don’t seem to change. It’s difficult to find the will to prove yourself in front of someone who gives you no reasons to respect them/inspire you. If you’re a yes man, then be prepared for burnout. Also, having managers telling everyone “good job” on every little thing, is not recognition. Just diminishes the meaning of what “good job” means. And we can tell they don’t actually mean it.

      Hi there, thank you for sharing your thoughts. We can hear your discontentment with some of your Revolut experience and we'd like to try to fix that. If you have suggestions on how we can improve your situation, please consider raising them with your line manager and let's see what we can improve. That said, there's no denying that Revolut is on a high growth trajectory as our continually growing customer base and rate of expansion show. That makes this a great place for ambitious, enthusiastic people who want to learn and grow fast but we recognise too that we all have different thresholds for pressure and varied workload capacities so we try to be aware of those differences. We're still growing our capacity and processes fast to meet demand so sometimes our processes and workload haven't been as well managed as we intend or we haven't communicated as carefully as we might - but we do listen and we're always working to improve.. We're serious about feedback from Revoluters. By intently listening, we've birthed new policies, such as our hybrid working arrangement, 60-day temporary working abroad flexibility and our new exciting office spaces (RevLabs). We certainly hope you stay the course as a Revoluter. All the best.

      DO NOT WORK FOR REVOLUT

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      None apart from being the cool kid with the MacBook

      Cons

      - CEO lost touch with the ground since long time - Departments are not organised at all. There are at least 3 departments (dev, ops, legal) for each task involved and each of them do not know that the others are working on the same thing. - Revolut hires freshmen and freshwomen, these kids have no responsibilities (most of them) outside working hours. So they start at 10am and finish at 10pm. This becomes then the standard for everyone. expecting experienced people to follow this schedule. - HR department non existent - STILL WAITING AFTER 6 MONTHS TO BE PAID WITH THE SHARES I EARNED, HOWEVER THERE IS NO CONTACT FOR EXTERNAL.

      Thank you for taking time to write us a review, and for recognising that we invest in the best tech tools so our people can do brilliant work. Revolut has grown tremendously in the past few years, driven by the dedicated, experienced people we've brought onboard and the teams they've built. Like many fast-growing companies, things move fast and that can be hard to keep up and maybe that dive and excitement won't suit everyone. We're always finding ways to create the best Revolut experience for our people and we're delighted that so many people are enjoying the flexibility of being able to choose to work from home whenever they like even when the pandemic's done. Please let us help you out with your shares by contacting hr.uk@revolut.com. We wish you the best.

      Bad management, poor HR practices, would avoid

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Depending on the team you join, you can work on some v. interesting projects that have big biz impact (even as a new joiner) 2. Processes are coming into place: working practices are efficient and agile which feeds into the rapid results-driven mentality/culture. This is good for a startup as ambitious as Revolut. 3. Flat hierarchy, but as the company continues to grow and teams expand, this is likely to change 4. Work-life balance is not bad at all for a startup.

      Cons

      1. *BIG CON*: will fire staff with zero warning + zero transparency. Ie. no past written documentation needed / review history, no vetting of actual reviews submitted by 'managers', no regard for whether or not KPIs have been met etc. Immature management; HR rather clueless/black box. 2. Many instances of 'managers' that are extremely inexperienced and have zero prior leadership experience (leading to 1.) - and do not seem to be interested in leading or people management. Can be very unlucky for those assigned to these managers upon joining. 3. Some service/business teams lack an actual sense of business strategy - leads to disjoined management within teams and lack of clarity (thus, inefficiency + waste).

      Thank you for your honest review. We appreciate your taking the time to give us feedback about your experience. Like any startup, we've got some growing pains. We've been working on improving HR processes, and making them more transparent and accountable. This year, changing business needs have meant a reorientation of priorities. We pride ourselves on being agile and able to move proactively, instead of sticking rigidly to goals that are no longer relevant to delivering the best possible product to our customers. We're always working on improving our internal communication to make sure all our teams know what our big picture aims are. We're working on supporting our management with a dedicated guild and Management and Leadership Development Manager providing plenty of relevant training modules and other support.
