Revolut Software Developer reviews

Timezone differences tend to make my PR reviews take longer, as a lot of times the reviewers will already be offline by the time I open the PR. This makes me pick more work in parallel, and sometimes I find myself struggling with focus because I have many contexts to switch to.

- Probation evaluation felt highly subjective and unfair. I received contradictory feedback (green light and positive feedback in the first part). But then later on at one point I was held accountable for bad code written long before I joined, which slowed down my own assigned tasks. It left me with the impression that passing was less about my actual contributions and more about circumstances outside my control - The overall team morale was very low. Most colleagues seemed unhappy, and the only jokes they made were about how relieved they were when Friday finally arrived or that they'd prefer working in the construction industry - Workload was overwhelming. On top of your assigned tasks, you constantly had to jump in and fix urgent issues in the system, making it nearly impossible to focus. Have never seen so many issues in the production environment before - Long hours are the norm. Typical workdays stretched from 9 a.m. to 7–8 p.m., with many people working until late at night and even on weekends. The work-life balance was essentially nonexistent Advice to candidates: If you value a healthy work–life balance with self-aware individuals, you may want to consider other options. The culture here felt overly robotic and purely performance-driven, leaving little room for genuine collaboration or job satisfaction.
