Revolut reviews

-Robotic work, and to make you feel a little less like a rat in a cage they might assign you meaningless tasks every now and then. - Unmanagable targets: targets are calculated in an unrealistic manner. They are always expecting you to give 100% all the time, setting targets which are unrealistic to achieve on a daily basis. - On the same note, managers do not care about you. I was working insanely hard when I started, which eventually lead to a mental breakdown. There is no support once you stop doing what is expected of you, You are then purposfully excluded and left on your own. On a more ironic note, you are also constantly bombarded with mental awareness posts while being treated as worthless. - As you work mainly from home, with no obligation to go to the office unless you want to, meaningful connections are harder to make, which ends up leaving you isolated. Furthermore, team enviroment can be quite toxic, almost feeling highschool-esque with specific groups that can make you feel quite excluded.

1. Product Owners expertise. POs usually don't understand how their products actually work. That's why they always ask the developers, "When the task will be finished?" It's okay to ask this from time to time, but not on a daily basis. One should always be ready to defend their position, explaining why the estimates are "so pessimistic" (even if they are actually optimistic). This can become tedious after some time, given that there are a lot of other responsibilities, and it does not improve the developer's long-term productivity. 2. The work culture is quite toxic. Everyone has a lot on their plate, which complicates interactions between teams. It's quite common to be blocked for several days, or even longer, by approvals, answers, etc., from someone else. 3. Promotions. The promotion mainly depends on the opinions of line manager (LM) and functional manager (FM). The FM might be from a different team, have many other responsibilities, and not have time to properly assess one's work. The promotion can be deserved and not granted just because the FM "doesn't feel" that it is deserved. 4. Team structure and the lack of people. There are no Team Leads. Being the only Backend/iOS/Android/Web developer on the team is also possible. If that's the case, be prepared to receive tons of daily DMs from POs, developers, operations managers, etc., with different requests/questions. Having to switch between different tasks is also very common: it makes it harder to concentrate on important work and deliver good results. It also leads to overtime (most employees do overtime). 5. Focus on KPIs that lead to absurd decisions. For example, there can be a very important task that affects many customers, but it won't be addressed because there is another minor (not always easy-to-fix) bug that affects the KPI. 6. Relocation. The company exploited the vulnerable position of people who had to relocate because of the war and didn't offer good salaries to some of them. The relocation process was not as fast as it could have been, but the global mobility team kept saying that "The safety and well-being of our employees is our top priority," which kind of became a local meme.
