Pros

WFH Budget for equipment Multisport

Cons

Unclear expectations for the probation period. They were not clearly communicated. Expectation to be perfect analyst after only theory training. QC KPI that is unreachable unless you are lucky and they pick cases that were done correctly. They don't realise that a new employee needs time to accommodate - they will base their probation review on QC done at the beginning of independent work. They do not look at the progress the employee made. You may display the improvement but if the metrics are not in the range, they will fail your probation. If your manager is OOO, then manager that you have never seen in your life will conduct the probation review instead and they won't take into the account the feedback from trainers etc., they will pull up their excel spreadsheet and tell you that KPIs are not met and you failed. Their procedures are scattered on thousand different pages in the knowledge base which makes it hard to navigate especially when you are new and under stress. Speed over quality - as new joiners we were told not to focus on the speed, but on the quality. During the performance review they will tell you then that the KPI for cases/day is not met. You can have 90-100% decision accuracy but they still will fail you.

Pros

Working at Revolut was one of the most rewarding experiences in my career. Every day brought something new to learn, and I was trusted with meaningful work from the beginning. The pace is fast, but that's exactly what helped me develop my analytical thinking, decision-making, and financial crime investigation skills. I genuinely enjoyed working with my team, they were approachable, knowledgeable, and always willing to help when needed. If you're someone who enjoys solving complex problems, taking ownership, and continuously learning, you'll appreciate the culture here. Looking back, I'm grateful for everything I learned during my time at Revolut.

Cons

The probation period can be quite challenging because the expectations are high from the start. There is a lot to learn in a relatively short period, and it can feel a little overwhelming initially. That said, once you adapt to the pace and understand the processes, it becomes much more manageable and rewarding.

Highly challenging culture that values your work

Not for everyone. There is a high bar in performance and all are expected to excel at work.
