Pros

Technically good engineers. That's it.

Cons

-Absolutely toxic culture Expectations to work overtime. Unrealistic deadlines. Blame falls on developers rather than managers. Demo driven development. Real problems are monkey-patched. People are treated as expendable. - Unclear path to promotion It's hit or miss. If you lucky to have a decent manager and you are ready to sacrifice your free time for work, you might get it. Or if you are long in the company. Nobody cares about your actual performance. - Company breaks their own rules Policies are changed at the will of the company with no notice. Sometimes they even change the policy for the previous period. Like backwards apply how the bonus is calculated so that you expected one thing, but got way less. - Company acts cheap They would want to cut benefits, to save a buck, while spending a fortune on an unoptimized infrastructure and process. The budgets for any kind of event is on the "mom's garage startup" level. - Toxic people Long time employees will make passive aggressive comments, if you dare to ask something. When you try to raise an issue about company behaviour, the non-affected employees will try to put the blame on you.

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.
