I didn't know that a company's employees could be so unhappy until I joined Revolut. People do not smile here, from juniors to seniors, nobody. There is no small banter or "how are you" or small talk. It is just straight to business all the time, in the coldest manner. This then creates pressure to work in a way that makes you so unhappy, even though the hours aren't necessarily the longest.
Those that want to be happy in their jobs/careers leave the company quickly. Those who stay are extremely introverted or workaholics or want to have Revolut on their CV. But, nobody I saw was happy to be there.
My experience at Revolut: I knew plenty of people that left within 6 months of joining, myself included. I left within 3 months without having another job or even interviews in place. That should speak for itself. I was so deeply unhappy to the point that I preferred to risk my career over my mental health.
People are not horrible or unprofessional here. It's kind of like everyone has accepted that they are not happy. Some people can stick around in that environment, most cannot.
I fell into the trap of thinking that I am tough and determined so I will thrive. I was wrong. MBB consultants and MBA holders don't even last here. So, if you think that you're different, I applaud your ambition and mindset but you're probably wrong.
Pay is mediocre
