Pros

Good compensation Remote work Smart people (depends on the team/department)

Cons

- HR processes are not transparent at all. The bureaucracy that was recently introduced is inefficient (random salary benchmarks, relocation is a pain) - Performance review is absolutely subjective. The only way to get promoted is to connect to your LM. Nepotism over professionalism - Retail department is hell. Chaotic approach. Big tech debt, but management wants to keep expanding, as the result, even trivial change takes forever. Mono-repository, good luck with waiting hours to run some tests. - High people turnover in the last 2 years. I saw lots of people leave because either they got bored, or they couldn't negotiate salary/relocation. As the result, there are many places with a code that is not owned by anyone, that is hard to maintain - In-house solution that doesn't work (ES) - Depending on the team - long hours. You have to protect yourself from it, otherwise, there would be many people who would want to use you w/o additional pay - KPIs between teams/departments are not synchronized. Sometimes they even work against each other - Teams are gathered from different locations. On the one hand, this may be a good opportunity for you to join any team, but on the other hand, there is no way when you can choose a team that is based in a certain location, therefore you can the same time zone and meet with your teammates in the office.

Hi! Thank you for your review! Revolut is a fast-growing and exciting business. We've achieved a lot in a very short time, and this ambitious, dynamic environment can be challenging sometimes. We're still growing our capacity and processes fast to meet demand and continuously work on improvements. By intently listening to our employees, recently, we introduced new performance cash bonus (on top of regular bonus scheme) and promotions philosophy to make sure our people are well rewarded. Transparency is an important aspect for us as it builds trust and open communication. As you are our current employee, I encourage you to discuss any issues either with your manager, or function leader. We’re constantly looking to ensure that we support the people who enable us to create great products and support our customers. Wishing you all the best.

Pros

Challenging tasks and interesting problems

Cons

Regressive culture means that many bad habits from senior individuals goes unnoticed Tries to foster an investment bank culture but goes way short on where it counts Lack of profitability and bad business decisions causing cost cutting measures Rational and logical workers leave quickly. Leaving the desperate and subservient workforce Instability and poor hiring practices mean people rarely agree on replacements that may desperate be needed

Hi, we are sorry that you are dissatisfied with your experience at Revolut. Revolut works hard to ensure salary competitiveness across our global markets and to reward everyone fairly, reflecting skills and experience. We also aim to have a friendly workplace where we support each other. We believe that clear KPIs help us all understand our goals and how we'll get there but they aren't the only indicator of your contribution. We admire people who live our values and support their colleagues in getting stuff done. Good luck in the future
