Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience so far with Revolut. Across the business, we have assigned line managers as well as functional managers, one is task and programme oriented and one an expert in skillsets who can help with realistic expectations and measures. This offers a double-pronged approach to development, learning and progression. We’d strongly recommend that you try to use this approach to your advantage, and communicate openly with both of your managers about what you hope to gain from your relationships with each of them. As Revolut continues through our hyper-growth stage, we do sometimes ask a little from our people, and we hope that the benefits on offer go some way to compensating for this. We are really glad to hear that you’re enjoying working on our tech stack, and that you feel you’re learning here from fellow smart Revoluters, and hope that your sentiment towards the management structure improves over time with a little adjustment.

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.

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.
