Revolut reviews

-Toxic culture driven by the overall chaos, unnecessary haste, constant fear of being fired and empty words like A-PLAYER, STRONGER TOGETHER etc. -The only thing, which matters are the KPIs, which unfortunately are very often calculated based on wrong logic and incorrectly working tools. If your kpis are a bit lower than expected, be prepared to get fired. -Prepare to work several hours a day (10-12), without the possibility of receiving overtime pay. -Revolut has really bad reputation as an employer on Cracow market. -Very unstable and unpredictable environment, if you are thinkig about staying here for a longer period. People are joining and leaving (sometimes dissapearing without further notice), much, much more often than in other companies I have worked for. -Having Revolut in your resume is not necessarily a career turning point, rather one of hundreds of fintechs in Europe, poorly recognized abroad (EEA). -Revolut prides itself on being competitive on the Crakow market, however, comparing this employer to other companies, this situation has changed significantly for some time and now is in the middle or even at the end of the stake (taking into consideration unpait OT's for example). And the last point, I am really wondering, who is writing all these positive comms, because franky speaking, I don't know anyone who would have such a good opinion about this company.

CTO mostly focuses on a form rather than substance, he cares deeply about naming things (how HE believes they should be, be ready to become a psychic), but ignores much deeper problems in the development process. For example, postmortems are written, but never discussed, sometimes after a heavy outage the conclusion is "we did everything right, it is just a coincidence", pretty much every second one. Usually no action but saying "do good, don't do bad" is taken. He surrounded himself with a bunch of yes-men platform team, which feels like more a pool of developers for personal pet projects rather than team that should help others. The only team whose time is valuable, is the platform team, they (or even CTO himself) can introduce breaking changes overnight and then the rest of the backend will do nothing for a couple of days but fix builds in their projects. A cherry on top: whole company uses same stack of dependencies without proper versioning, often reinventing the wheel. Be ready to receive at least once a week a message in a developers slack channel about new ridiculous changes in the development process that you need to remember to follow with zero effort to automate things. The most suffering people from these processes are POs who can't really plan to deliver features, since developers are distracted with BS tasks coming from platform/CTO on a daily basis. Public shaming is also a part of the culture, sometimes CTO drags a link to bitbucket into a public chat to let everyone to discuss what is wrong (in his opinion) with this particular piece of code.
