Pros

- Technical challenges - You can grow if you're willing to work very hard - If you don't, you can just 9-5 without much worry - No "hybrid office" bs - Good engineering and software delivery practices - No layoffs

Cons

- Toxic people, especially some of Russians/Belarusians/Ukrainians - A ton of bureaucracy, and you need to know people to get around it. E.g., you may wait for your PR to be merged for days, but if you know a guy there, he can merge it for you right now. If you don't... - Company is thrift - e.g., you only get a Macbook and £400 to set up a home office, and that's it - no external screen, no education budget, very hard to get funding to go to conferences. Always the cheepest wine at parties, etc, etc. Maybe it's connected to "no layoffs" point though. - There's the whole promotion framework, but very little clarity w.r.t how much money you will get at the next level. Some people get none, only more responsibility. - Stupid corporate "values" are stuffed into every exec's message. The only real value is "deliver, deliver, deliver, and no one will care if you're a jerk". - Attrition is very high - London office is very lackluster

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.
