      Overrated political chaos

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Product is good - Many vacation days _ Looks good on your CV

      Cons

      - Everything is political and not performance based, which is very scary for such a young company - very toxic work culture! - Managers are very inexperienced when it comes to managing people - most of them learn to manage by fear, a thing which is transparently encouraged by Storonsky himself. - Chaos when it comes to synchronising departments - you often have to give up on your personal life just because you dont find out about new tasks in due time. - The only performance reviews that are taken into consideration are done by your line manager, who can be very biased. Even if you hit or even exceed your KPIs, you can get a very bad performance review that can put you in trouble. As crazy as it sounds, yes, you can exceed your KPIs and still be considered an underperformer after your performance review (therefore no bonus, no promotion, no raise). Also, they evaluate you based on the so-called company values, a set of mottos that leave a lot of place for subjectivity. - The take advantage of the 4 reviews/year to get rid of people. They do not announce exits accordingly - one day you just notice that some peoples Slack account has been deactivated. - HR is practically non-existent, they are unable to solve any problems at work, have no internal code of conduct in place, no rules, nothing. - A culture of professional bullies, tolerated and encouraged by high management. - Be careful with Peakon: apparently, they try to measure your well-being at work through these surveys. In reality, everything you say there will be turned against you and you will be considered a bad match for the company. Also, they do not take into consideration employees feedback given through Peakon in order to change things for the better. - They do not know local legislation for some countries and do a lot of illegal stuff - everything you have read about it in the media is true. - Salary below the market average and no other benefits except for a free Metal subscription (no health insurance, no yearly bonus, nothing else). - Role titles do not reflect your experience - in solid companies, you would need much more experience to have such a job title. Here, everybody is a manager/senior manager etc. - I could go on for another hour, but I guess you caught my drift. If you are at the beginning of your career and need a good (yet overrated, in this case) name on your CV, go for it. Otherwise, you will just get extremely frustrated. And dont forget - everything former or current employees say in the media about the work culture is true!

      Hello, and thank you for sharing your experience. We take all reviews seriously. Revolut's fast-paced, challenging work culture refects our youth and ambition. It's an exciting place to be with a rate of experience and achievement in which many people thrive. We never want that ambition to be at the expense of our people. We share bold ambitions but also a culture where we try to support our colleagues to be successful. We believe that clear KPIs help ensure that we are all clear about our goals and how we'll get there. We recognise too that KPIs aren't the only indicator of your contribution. We admire people who live our values and support their colleagues in getting stuff done. Revolut does not tolerate bullying at any level. If you believe that you observed or experienced bullying we hope that you raised it with HR or the Global People team where it would have been immediately investigated. We try hard to maintain a friendly, professional environment where our people can do their best work. As not everyone feels comfortable speaking out, we have several anonymous feedback tools to help identify any issues and make Revolut a great place to work. We recently surveyed all employees about how they wanted to work as some of the world begins to recover from the pandemic and adopted a flexible working policy across the company in response to their feedback. Revolut aims to offer competitive pay and conditions everywhere it operates. In addition to free Metal Card subscriptions and a good number of vacation days, we provide health insurance and other benefits. We wish you well in your next role.

      Pros

      Funky office and good benefits

      Cons

      The company culture is toxic. There is a huge focus on attracting A-players, but no work done to nurture and retain them. Management are not held to account for the fact they are responsible for this poor culture.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we appreciate your feedback. We’re working hard to make sure that Revolut is a place where A-players want to stay for a long time, and we acknowledge that perhaps our enthusiasm to build a financial superApp can run away with us. We definitely take your comments on board. We want to create a culture where all our people feel great coming to work and being part of Revolut. We’ll be sure to pass on your feedback and we hope, in the months to come, that we can change your impression.

      Cool product, WORST culture

      Pros

      Cool product that is used by millions. Exciting and fast-pace

      Cons

      Poor management style. Moral compass is really off. I've seen people being fired with little communication or warning. Overpromised the role n scope when hiring. Unclear, ever-changing direction (normal for startups but pls don't change every week). Do not treat ppl as human but some machine/resource. Zero care.

      Thank you very much for taking the time to let us know your feedback. Employee experience is a big focus for us, and we’re looking at ways that we can improve that and ensure that roles are scoped and communicated properly. Please know that we’ll pass your feedback on to our recruitment team. That being said, we are in a hyper growth phase and in a hyper competitive sector, meaning that we do often have to pivot to the needs of our customers, and we will always need to do this. As you observe we’re a relatively young business and one that has grown super fast and that means things do change quickly. We’re trying to ensure that we have good tools and mechanisms in place to keep people informed right across the business and give everyone the opportunity to hear from our leadership directly about our business priorities. Do please feed back on our internal channels with any suggestions you have. We really do welcome them and act on criticism as well as praise. We support our managers with our Management and Leadership Guild and our Learning and Development team is creating programmes to ensure to help get the best out of our management at all times. Our performance review process includes time for informal and formal check ins. Where people have been let go after a performance review, this follows formal review and discussion of their performance. Where people have been asked to leave the business for underperformance we aim to do this with care and sensitivity. It’s great to know that you’re enjoying working on our product and making an impact on the lives of our customers, and we hope that you feel able to escalate some of your concerns to your manager, or through our internal channels.
