Pros

* cool product * ability to work with modern technologies * good salary, but it's not worth it

Cons

* CEO is a lunatic * fear based culture * chaotic roadmap, ever changing requirements, engineers are blamed for it * public shaming on Slack and at meetings * unclear expectations for promotion * overtime is very much expected, and this is being openly communicated as well by the CEO

Revolut Response

We object strenuously to the mischaracterisation of Nik with whom our people are thrilled to work. He's driven by the goal of ensuring that we realise our ambition of creating a truly global financial superapp - that will enable our customers to manage all their financial needs in a single place. We don't see the ambition to achieve something that no-one has ever achieved before as a lunacy. We see it as being determined to find and lead brilliant people to deliver what Revolut's customers want, however hard that appears. As he says - a lot - we never settle. Happily there are lots of us who share his ambition and his vision and we hope to find many more who'll love working on exciting ambitious projects and learning from the brilliant people around them as much as we do. Delivering wow.

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.

Pros

Highly challenging culture that values your work

Cons

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