Pros

1. High velocity 2. Some benefits related to Revolut product.

Cons

1. toxic work culture 2. employees especially UX designers are treated like machines, with no empathy 3. UX designers are treated like a tool at Product leaders (managers) disposal. Product leaders have issues with UX designers spending time in iterations. 4. Its top down approach where product leaders follow what is told to them and then people in his team are required to follow what product leader thinks. 5. UX designers can't lead extremely difficult to impact roadmap. NOTE Employyes are asked (forced) by HR folks to share positive reviews on glassdoor.

Hello, thank you for your comment. Companies take many approaches to UX and product ownership, and our approach may not be the same as your experience elsewhere. It is not that any team is more important than the other or to imply any lack of trust or respect. Product teams have a wider overview of everything related to the product (GTM, roadmaps, information from key stakeholders) so we ask that other teams take their lead. If this workflow isn't working well we recommend discussing it with your line manager and do please be willing to suggest solutions. We like to think that we're open to different routes if they get us to our destination. Glassdoor reviews are always voluntary. We'd never suggest that anyone contributes anything but their own experience as it's your views that count. We know that many, many Revoluters find their time with us hugely rewarding so we hope they'll share those views. We hope you'll talk to colleagues or to HR about how we can improve your experience together.

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.
