      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Cool office space. - Many people I've meet were very nice, knowledgeable, and humble. - No one tells you how to do things, as long as you get things done (this also proved to be one of their issues).

      Cons

      - Arrogant management. - Probation period goals poorly defined and most of the times not measurable. - Lack of support or direction during your probation period. You'll have to constantly chase your line manager to give you feedback and luckily he/she won't be too busy. - No one will tell you whether you passed the probation period or not, even though they are supposed to give you a written confirmation. - Blame culture. Instead of focusing on solutions and fixing problems or educating people, some senior engineers / managers prefer to just make fun of other people's lack of skills or point fingers. - People are treated as disposable and will be let go during their probation period for no reason. With luck, they will tell you "you're not a good fit for the company". - They tell you that no one forces you to work long hours, but the tasks they give you during your probation force you to work many extra hours and during the weekend. - Job spec advertised completely different from the actual work you'll do (given the speed at which the company is growing, you'll end up doing really crappy work that other people who've been longer in the company don't want to do).

      Thank you for your honest review. We appreciate your taking the time to give us thorough feedback. We want you assure you that your probation experience was not representative of what we expect from our processes. We want to ensure that all our people are properly informed and know what's expected of them. We're working on addressing our probation period practices to ensure that everyone is fully informed on what is expected of them - both managers and employees. As we're hyperscaling, there might be periods where we ask our people to work a little harder to make sure that we get it done. While it might be difficult at times, our Revolut community is always there to support you. We try to ensure that all the work you do is aligned to your profile and the job description you applied for, but it might sometimes happen that you need to support us as we're hiring to fill gaps. We'll continue to provide support and training to our managers to make sure that they're getting the best from our people, and helping them thrive at work. If you have specific feedback about what we can improve in this area, please get in touch with us directly. We're committed to ensuring that everyone thrives in their work at Revolut. We assure you that your experience does not reflect the vast majority of our staff, and we'll continue to improve with your feedback.

      Engineering excellence ruined by toxic product culture

      Senior product manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Engineers are experienced and genuinely interested in building a good product. If you don't have a technical background, you will pick up a lot of new knowledge. The product moves very quickly and your work can have an impact of millions of people who use the product every day. Everyone is very motivated and hard-working, even if that motivation is driven by fear.

      Cons

      The company is only interested in making money. There is zero interest in understanding or solving customer problems, even when those problems are caused by our product. The approach to problem solving is totally top-down and backwards from the rest of the industry. You will not learn anything at Revolut about product development that will be applicable at other companies that are customer-oriented. You will only learn how to survive at Revolut. On a personal level, it really is a toxic workplace without trust or mutual respect. I think a lot of my colleagues are happy with their jobs because they believe the compensation is good and the experience will further their career, but I do not know a single person who enjoys their work whatsoever. Diversity is also a major issue. Less than 10% of managers are women. Fix this. Finally, the equity compensation system was changed recently and new hires should understand that it is much less beneficial than before. If you are considering taking a job at Revolut, read the fine print carefully and push for cash.

      Hello, thank you for telling us about your experience. You are right about the commitment of our engineers. We're proud of their dedication. We take all reviews seriously and would like to set some things straight. Firstly we should be clear that everyone at Revolut is very focused on delivering the best possible customer experience. We have feedback loops across our business to pick up and resolve issues so that we can deliver the best possible product for our customers. Revolut is committed to fostering diversity including in developing more women leaders. The proportion of women managers is several times the percentage you cite and we hope that our Women in Leadership programme will increase the proportions of women coming into leadership roles. We're sorry if you don't find your workplace supportive. We want everyone to feel good at work and we'd recommend that you raise your concerns through our internal channels to see if we can improve things. Lastly, we want working at Revolut to be rewarding in every way. Our growth shares scheme was designed with the advice of external experts to be the best way we could ensure that employees could share in Revolut's future success while minimising their tax penalties. You can find more details in Confluence. Thank you for getting in touch.

      Worst Company Culture Ever

      Product owner
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Interesting work, fast paced. Never ending grand ambition of world domination.

      Cons

      Worst work culture ever, PERIOD. Everyone is being pushed nonStop by the CEO and his minions. Extremely arrogant product heads who think they know everything , but in reality they hardly have developed anything great. CEO and product head don't want to listen, just push and push all that time, thinking that's their job. Deadlines are from thin air, they are unbelievably ridiculous but you have to stick to them. Product Head always works with the assumption that people are slacking, and hence pushes unnecessarily. It can drive anyone mad. If you are a product guy interviewing with this company and getting sold by the growth and by HR, don't be fooled. Your product skills are not required here, what is required are puppets who can without challenging just implement what CEO says.

      Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate you taking the time. We recognise that we still have some work to do in making sure that our enthusiasm to build a financial superApp does not affect our culture or communications in a negative way, and we have several initiatives in place that are specifically designed to tackle that. We take your comments on board, and as you’re currently an employee we’d ask you to please escalate this feedback internally via the weekly pulse surveys. We hope that we can start to improve your impression soon.
