Pros

- Decent pay compared to other similar roles.

Cons

- Top-down culture - Micromanagement is openly encouraged by the CEO. - Micromanagement in long run killed creativity as it has the opposite effect with bright talent. - Designers are afraid of speaking up in product reviews even when they get stupid feedback from senior management. It seems like the company hired top talent and ruined their craftsmanship. - Feedback is often given in a demeaning and unprofessional way. Senior management really needs to grow up. - Too many hands spoil the broth.

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.
