Pros

- The most hard working and smartest people I have ever met in my life - Salary above the market (but way below FAANG, hedge fund or investment bank) - They are picky during interview steps so you can assume you end up working with skilled people - Perks (insurance, food, in house parties, stocks) - Huge office - No one cares when you work, what breaks you have during the day - Great product - Chance for being part of revolutionizing product - There are some in house guidelines according about developing product but you are free to pick up another stack if you are able to deliver product from start to end

Cons

- Poorly scoped project, as a developer I spent a lot of time going around, asking people about expectations towards new features, projects. In my opinion it should be the responsibility of Product Owner not developers. Since I do not like this part of job I struggled a lot - Fired because underperformance in the middle of Covid outbreake. It was difficult to understand because the interview process took more or less one month and they waited an extra few months before I turned up in the office. I was let go without being informed in advance that I was falling behind expectations and I was expected to improve - It is not 9 to 5 job - People are extremely busy and you probably will never receive any help from your mates if that does not help them achieve KPIs

Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate you taking the time. We’ll pass on your feedback about scoping projects. Regarding performance reviews, our process includes time for informal and formal check ins on performance. Where people have been let go after a performance review, this follows formal review and discussion of their performance and where the company believes that the employee has not achieved the expected performance. We recognise however, that this is a really tough time for this to happen and really wish you all the best. Thank you for letting us and others know about some of the really great aspects about working at Revolut.

Pros

Working at Revolut was one of the most rewarding experiences in my career. Every day brought something new to learn, and I was trusted with meaningful work from the beginning. The pace is fast, but that's exactly what helped me develop my analytical thinking, decision-making, and financial crime investigation skills. I genuinely enjoyed working with my team, they were approachable, knowledgeable, and always willing to help when needed. If you're someone who enjoys solving complex problems, taking ownership, and continuously learning, you'll appreciate the culture here. Looking back, I'm grateful for everything I learned during my time at Revolut.

Cons

The probation period can be quite challenging because the expectations are high from the start. There is a lot to learn in a relatively short period, and it can feel a little overwhelming initially. That said, once you adapt to the pace and understand the processes, it becomes much more manageable and rewarding.

Highly challenging culture that values your work

Not for everyone. There is a high bar in performance and all are expected to excel at work.
