Pros

- Cool office space. - Many people I've meet were very nice, knowledgeable, and humble. - No one tells you how to do things, as long as you get things done (this also proved to be one of their issues).

Cons

- Arrogant management. - Probation period goals poorly defined and most of the times not measurable. - Lack of support or direction during your probation period. You'll have to constantly chase your line manager to give you feedback and luckily he/she won't be too busy. - No one will tell you whether you passed the probation period or not, even though they are supposed to give you a written confirmation. - Blame culture. Instead of focusing on solutions and fixing problems or educating people, some senior engineers / managers prefer to just make fun of other people's lack of skills or point fingers. - People are treated as disposable and will be let go during their probation period for no reason. With luck, they will tell you "you're not a good fit for the company". - They tell you that no one forces you to work long hours, but the tasks they give you during your probation force you to work many extra hours and during the weekend. - Job spec advertised completely different from the actual work you'll do (given the speed at which the company is growing, you'll end up doing really crappy work that other people who've been longer in the company don't want to do).

Thank you for your honest review. We appreciate your taking the time to give us thorough feedback. We want you assure you that your probation experience was not representative of what we expect from our processes. We want to ensure that all our people are properly informed and know what's expected of them. We're working on addressing our probation period practices to ensure that everyone is fully informed on what is expected of them - both managers and employees. As we're hyperscaling, there might be periods where we ask our people to work a little harder to make sure that we get it done. While it might be difficult at times, our Revolut community is always there to support you. We try to ensure that all the work you do is aligned to your profile and the job description you applied for, but it might sometimes happen that you need to support us as we're hiring to fill gaps. We'll continue to provide support and training to our managers to make sure that they're getting the best from our people, and helping them thrive at work. If you have specific feedback about what we can improve in this area, please get in touch with us directly. We're committed to ensuring that everyone thrives in their work at Revolut. We assure you that your experience does not reflect the vast majority of our staff, and we'll continue to improve with your feedback.

Pros

- Beautiful office - Smart, youthful, ambitious colleagues - Really good referral bonus. Something like 1200 GBP. - Multinational office - They sort out residency for you. You pay all government fees, but no legal fees. - If you do not have a lot of work experience you will move up the ranks very quickly, as they are expanding rapidly, and desperate to fill management positions.

Cons

- VERY disorganized. There was even some information missing from my contract when I signed. - No real leadership. - Scaling very quickly so everything is very muddled right now. - Management is very very bad and completely inexperienced.

Thank you for taking the time to give us your thoughts about your time at Revolut. We appreciate your honesty and thorough comments. We've been working hard on building scalable internal processes as we grow. Sometimes our teams are still in the process of hiring all the people they may need to make it happen exactly how we want, so we welcome feedback on where we can improve. We'd like to assure you that your experience regarding the contract is exceptional - our legal department is very thorough with all our outgoing contracts. We'd love to get more feedback on this so that we can follow up with the relevant people. As well as hiring in top-tier management, we provide plenty of support and training to our current management to ensure that they're doing a great job. Revolut isn't a traditional company with a traditional hierarchy. We're not just changing the face of banking, we want our work environment to work better for us. It might seem chaotic at times, but we empower people who want to change the status quo in all areas of the financial sector, including customer support. If you have more specific feedback for us to improve, we'd love to hear from you directly.

Hey, thanks for this great review! We've taken feedback on board and tried to make our management as strong as possible as we scale up. We try to make our salaries as competitive as possible for the market. However, we also offer a Total Benefits Package that includes perks and benefits that supplement the salary to provide a great overall remuneration. If you have suggestions on we we can improve this package to make it more appealing, let us know by getting in touch with our Compensation and Benefits team directly.
