      Fast growth killed by bureaucrats

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Working with new technologies; Smart people from whom you can learn a lot; International environment, focus on the diversity and inclusion, Generally high ambitions of the organisation (ongoing development of the new products, new features and focus on entering new markets); Nice office; Global brand that still has rather positive, innovative image and a company that changed how incumbents approach their customers ;

      Cons

      Terrible bureaucracy, worse than in some large banks; Senior and c-suite management that came from incumbent institutions and is not suited for fast growing business; Group focusing on UK laws and regulations instead of on local ones; c-suite micromanagement;

      Unclear if bank or tech company - autocratic culture with no clear growth path (for company and individuals)

      Product owner
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Strong focus on execution, and quantity over quality

      Cons

      Poor compensation - very learn business that keeps its cash for product promotions (referral bonuses) rather than employee compensation and irregular share bonus scheme (shares are still on paper). Like many mid-sized company suffers from cons of both a smaller company (unclear strategy beyond copying the big companies - "company X is doing this, company Y is doing that", many inexperienced middle managers (early joiners) who love to 'flex' by asserting goals that do not have a clear strategy behind them) as well as those of a large company (lots of red tape due to wanting to be a bank, insane politics). Very little product leadership and high engineering staff turnover makes it impossible to keep a steady roadmap. You risk learning bad product habits that should not be transferred beyond this company. Most people have not come from a tech background, but rather banking or consulting, carrying over the exact same culture.

      Thank you for your review. Revolut is hugely ambitious, has come a long way quickly and learned a lot on the way. Sometimes our ambition has meant we've tried to go too fast but we listen to our people and try to ensure that all voices are heard and that we are working smartly not just hard and that everyone can get a reasonable balance between work and the rest of life. We draw talent from many backgrounds - tech, financial services and elsewhere - and we try to ensure that we learn from the best experience and success stories. We want to be a place where our talented people can learn, grow and be successful and we know our drive and dynamism is what makes Revolut a great place to be for many people. We appreciate all that you do, and wish you the best.
