Pros

Ok pay compared in London, I like the product as a user

Cons

- Product managers are in a constant state of panic, nobody cares what you implement as long as it goes to production as soon as possible. - People are not friendly, I hated having meetings with my own team. - Tech is in a horrible shape, the ci pipeline can break for DAYS, but you still have deadlines to catch, so go figure lol. - There is no real test environment, only staging which can only have the latest master, this means that you ship things to production without actually seeing them running anywhere else, now I like automated tests as much as the next guy, but I still want to see my code running somewhere. - Finally I must mention, that I quit this job before landing the next one, I actually did not want to do interviews while being this stressed at work.

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.
