Pros

- Remote work flexibility - Some kind and supportive colleagues - Many internal support channels available - Benefits package seemed solid

Cons

- 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.

Pros

+ Everyone knows Revolut - easier conversations. + Product is top tier. + Good benefits. + Good on your resume.

Cons

- Poor sales leadership - for a company so successful, very shocked at the low calibre of talent in senior sales roles. But product is so strong and they are not measured on employee retention so impossible for them to fail. - Tech stack minimal. - Large elements of favouritism.
