Pros

- Good salary * - Clear recruitment process - Most of the teammates - Nice knowledge *Unless you had any bonus, in that case probably it will be removed to save some money and use it for other purposes.

Cons

- The work-life balance is non-existent, your work will depend on the company's requirements. - Absent planification, if you have a shift position you will not know your next month schedule probably until less than a week left. - Never settle: That means that your tasks, even your team, could change in less than 24h without your consent. - Stronger together: if you share your opinion or simply ask for something that differs from the opinion with senior management, for example: Any manager or Head of ____. You'll get in trouble and they'll find a way to fire you. Or maybe you are simply forced to leave. - Think deeper: If you want to get promotions you have several options. Do your line manager work, get an absurd amount of extra tasks, or simply befriend management. Doing your work is not sufficient, think deeper, guys. - If you liked Game of Thrones this is a pro: The quarter quarterly performance depends on a lot of non-objective factors. What does it mean? If you commit some mistake that goes against the hive mind probably you will be stabbed and your work for the last months will mean zero. And be careful, you can also go on PIP and eventually get fired. On the other hand, if you are a person who loves politics, you will love this place. - Just to clarify, everything shared on Wired was true. And I'd add is getting worse, I do not recommend this place unless you really need the money. Your mental health, and eventually your physical one, will be affected.

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.
