Don't believe the hype!

Pros

Good money, massive earning potential, if you get lucky. No micro management.

Cons

Firstly, they make out that they only want high performing sales people, which is a joke in itself. I'd say 90 percent of the sales team don't cold call and hide behind LinkedIn and email. This role is purely a numbers game. The people doing well are simply sourcing loads of leads and spamming them with messages or adding them into (terrible) email cadences. The volume of recruitment tells you everything you need to know. There is zero collaboration as nobody wants to share how they do things. This is because everyone is in the same boat and you can be out the door as quickly as you were in, just by having one poor quarter. Zero job security. Not a good place to work. Don't value their staff. Managed to win an employer reward, but only because noone has been there long enough to leave a proper review

Pros

You can get a lot of exposure to different products

Cons

-horrible & toxic company culture and work environment -continuously misled and lied to by leaders of the business -no care whatsoever to employees -lied to from the beginning during the interview process about salaries and payouts -highest staff turnover imaginable -company rules don’t apply to everybody -certain rules breached by employees that would result in their dismissal from any company do not get reprimanded at Revolut -company always trying to not pay employees and coming up with new rules not to do so -the goal post and structure gets consistently changed with no consideration to employees livelihood -internal processes to get anything done are an absolute joke and might as well be replaced by bots which is the impression you get when dealing with most employees there -product is nowhere near as good stated -culture of fear At Revolut you are a machine to be used and tossed out, so if you have any self-respect , self-value and integrity this is the absolute worst place you can end up

Hi! Thank you for your review! Revolut has grown hugely, going from a small startup to a global business in a relatively short period of time. Through these years we’ve gone through a significant transformation, working a lot on developing our internal processes, our culture, and the support we provide to our employees. We're sorry you have such a negative experience with us. As you are our current employee, please make sure that you’re airing your concerns internally through the available channels, so we can learn what is not working properly and improve it. All the best.

Pros

Good compensation Remote work Smart people (depends on the team/department)

Cons

- HR processes are not transparent at all. The bureaucracy that was recently introduced is inefficient (random salary benchmarks, relocation is a pain) - Performance review is absolutely subjective. The only way to get promoted is to connect to your LM. Nepotism over professionalism - Retail department is hell. Chaotic approach. Big tech debt, but management wants to keep expanding, as the result, even trivial change takes forever. Mono-repository, good luck with waiting hours to run some tests. - High people turnover in the last 2 years. I saw lots of people leave because either they got bored, or they couldn't negotiate salary/relocation. As the result, there are many places with a code that is not owned by anyone, that is hard to maintain - In-house solution that doesn't work (ES) - Depending on the team - long hours. You have to protect yourself from it, otherwise, there would be many people who would want to use you w/o additional pay - KPIs between teams/departments are not synchronized. Sometimes they even work against each other - Teams are gathered from different locations. On the one hand, this may be a good opportunity for you to join any team, but on the other hand, there is no way when you can choose a team that is based in a certain location, therefore you can the same time zone and meet with your teammates in the office.

Hi! Thank you for your review! Revolut is a fast-growing and exciting business. We've achieved a lot in a very short time, and this ambitious, dynamic environment can be challenging sometimes. We're still growing our capacity and processes fast to meet demand and continuously work on improvements. By intently listening to our employees, recently, we introduced new performance cash bonus (on top of regular bonus scheme) and promotions philosophy to make sure our people are well rewarded. Transparency is an important aspect for us as it builds trust and open communication. As you are our current employee, I encourage you to discuss any issues either with your manager, or function leader. We’re constantly looking to ensure that we support the people who enable us to create great products and support our customers. Wishing you all the best.
