Pros

Salary and bonuses average plus I would say. Flexible working policy is good.

Cons

Senior Management don’t have any clue how to manage people. Treating employees as resources, even good salary and bonuses can’t help here. Lack of people and resources, but they still expect you to finish big task with tough deadlines. Don’t accept problems/don’t want to fix, but they know about them. Rush with launching new features, so no time to improve previous. Decision makes in a rush, so mostly everything in MVP stage. Pure backend stack, internal frameworks with a lot of issues. Not interested in your knowledge improvement. Only when it comes to internal framework, but even here a lot of miscommunication and misunderstanding. Everything about speed, not quality. KPI based environment. Toxic environment. You will be told what, how and when you should do, no freedom and flexibility. So if you like challenges and want to try change those things, this is perfect place. But be ready to big resistance and lack of power.

Pros

- Highly entrepreneurial with intention to succeed - Good product with high degree of innovation - Lots of smart people in the company

Cons

- CEO's approach to managing people is to micromanage them rather than trusting and empowering them leading to very high turnover rates, especially at executive level - Awful daily company politics despite claim that Revolut wants to be a company without politics - Company is constantly in crisis mode

Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to learn that you’re not enjoying all aspects of your Revolut experience, we know our goals demand a lot from people - but we never want this to have a negative impact on our employees. We would like to clarify a few points though. First off we don’t recognise your description. We recently reported Revolut’s annual results showing healthy customer and revenue growth, despite Covid. That success is enabled by trusting and empowering our people so that they can do their best and deliver the products our customers value. As part of that, we all expect to be challenged in our work - and to understand that it’s not personal. We're building products that customers use every day so we challenge each other to achieve the best outcome. You are right that we try to avoid office politics and act as one Revolut. Please do talk to HR or your manager if that's not your experience and we'll try to fix it.

Pros

Remote Work - ideal for someone who wants to work in Spain or Portugal for a few months Commission can be good if you secure an FX forwards contract Half Health Insurance, Pension.

Cons

High Attrition rate most employees last anywhere from 3 to 9 months on average. Irish SMB market is saturated with too many AEs competing over small amount of profitable prospects. Mid Market companies needed to hit target. Unachievable targets - targets have increased dramatically for 2024, big FX forward contracts required to hit target. Many AEs who have had tenures of over two years face dramatic increases which will lead many to leave the business. Managers are effectively team leads. No office culture or collaboration - you are siloed and will only see your teammates 3 or 4 times per year at company events. Hard to build relationships over Slack. No second screen - WFH allowance insufficient to cover all equipment needed Lack of sales training - almost 9 months into the role before we received sales training You can close many deals and sign up clients but if they do not spend money on their account you will not earn commission from them. Onboarding is a disaster, ticket system extremely frustrating with team in Poland who are under immense pressure and overworked.

Hello! Many thanks for your review! Revolut is a dynamic business that is growing rapidly. We’ve accomplished a great deal in a short span of time, and this ambitious and dynamic environment can be challenging at times. We strongly believe that establishing clear performance expectations helps us all focus on shared objectives and provide targeted support where needed. Key performance indicators (KPIs) are discussed and mutually agreed upon by line managers and employees to ensure alignment. When determining goals, we’re guided by our core values: Never Settle, Get it Done, and Deliver WOW. It’s because of our commitment to these values over the past seven years that we can proudly call ourselves a global financial superapp today. Thank you for your comments and all the best for the future. Best regards - Patrick Hodge, Head of Sales (UK&I)
