Pros

- Good office. - Good product. - Good brand. - Clear regarding their culture during the recruitment process.

Cons

- All positive comments here are fake, created by HR. - Most employees are gone within the first 6 months. - No work-life balance. You will work overtime during the week, weekends and even holidays (and they will still fire you). - All wired articles are true. The culture did not change a bit. The same "A players" are still ruling and managing the company. But now the so called "A players" have limited their fury to the performance reviews and backstabbing. - Micro-management: everything is measured. - Quartely performance reviews are just used to fire people the "A players" dislike, most of the times unfairly. - High turnover of people, which leads to projects getting closed and people getting fired. - Extremely political. You must submit to the "A players" rules in order to be successful. There are junior people leading projects and teams just because they befriended their managers, not due to their expertise or background. - Most managers don't have experience, technical expertise or even leadership skills. - Share options scheme is very unclear and shady. - If you were just hired by Revolut I wish you good fortune (you will need it!) and please watch out for the "A players" in your team.

Pros

+ Everyone knows Revolut - easier conversations. + Product is top tier. + Good benefits. + Good on your resume.

Cons

- Poor sales leadership - for a company so successful, very shocked at the low calibre of talent in senior sales roles. But product is so strong and they are not measured on employee retention so impossible for them to fail. - Tech stack minimal. - Large elements of favouritism.
