      Pros

      In order to thrive at Revolut, culture fit is really important. I see a lot of negative reviews stating bad management, and in a way I think this is highly driven by an extremely direct and no-BS communication style of the senior management. The narrative is highly focused on the need for all to be super performers (aka A players) and if you fall outside of this group, you'll be fired. Now, this sounds pretty rough to most people (and that is in a way understandable) and creates an impression that the company and/or senior management does not care about people. Guess what - other/bigger companies who are better at BSing and sugar coating also do not care, but there is more 'fake empathy' going on there. So I guess this is a question of culture/personality type - do you prefer straightforwardness and blunt communication or would you rather have the same stuff delivered in a corporate sugar coated/brainwash-y way? Each person would have a different response to that :) Based on this here are the Pros: -> moves fast, things get resolved quickly -> smart colleagues, especially in some departments. A players like working with A players -> high performance culture (good for those who are competitive and want to be no.1) -> to the point above, despite that, people are also friendly and backstabbing is not so common (as it is in corporate) -> management is actually here for the win and is relentless to reach its goals (this is good monetary-wise if you stick long term and see the company IPO)

      Cons

      Cons: -> senior management communication style is indeed rough/immature - rephrasing things may do wonders for the morale -> unexpected spikes in workload may occur - which makes work/life balance challenging -> [pre-covid] office perks are not that amazing - you have to wait till 7 pm for Deliveroo dinner and the breakfast provided is kind of basic (only 1 sugar free cereal was available, which were the plain outs, everything else was loaded with sugar) -> lack of narrative/culture/identity of being part of something awesome - there isn't a strong identity that creates a sense of community and belonging, something you can find in big tech companies

      Could be great, but...

      Pros

      -Nice benefits/perks. -Easy to move between teams/departments. -Flat hierarchy. -Great coworkers... that you are not able to know. -You learn a lot. -Things change in a matter of hours or days. This is good and bad. -Great product. -Dynamic environment.

      Cons

      -It's just another corporation with a nice disguise, and it's a business-first one, you feel like you are doing outsourcing, you are just a number. -You go to the office knowing that any day can be your last day, they even boast during the onboarding process of firing entire teams. -As everything turns around the KPIs it's not an easy thing to get to know your co-workers, there is no time for that. -Managers and team leaders with zero experience and no idea about managing people. -There are no personal development plans or career paths. -Shifts and working on weekends because there is not enough space for the employees in the office. -The procedures get outdated from one day to another -are split into different places- and if you have doubts there is no SMEs, is your problem to figure out the right thing -no one can guarantee that the solution you get from your team leader/manager is the correct one... and that's your problem, not his/her-. -Disorganized place. Amateur behavior. -No feedback, good or bad, because the team leaders/managers don't care as long as the KPIs are met.

We’re working to support our managers with our Management and Leadership Guild and our Learning and Development team is creating programmes to ensure that we’re getting the best out of our management at all times. We do appreciate that our fincrime teams have been working very hard and putting in extra efforts to deal with demand, and we hope that some of the benefits and learning opportunities you mentioned compensate for this. We will pass your specific feedback on to the appropriate leadership. As a relatively young, fast growing company, we aim to build management teams who can establish good processes and people management to support our development and our people. We would urge you to speak to a member of management about your concerns and please know also that this feedback will be passed on.

      Demanding but rewarding

      Business support
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Attractive salary, good perks and benefits, extremely nice office and positive team spirit. Challenging and dynamic days every day.

      Cons

      High pressure, very demanding targets, definitely not for those who just want a quiet 9-to-5 job. This is very a very rewarding job but only when we deliver excellent results, meeting expectations is not enough and sometimes it’s hard to accept this as a new form of normal.
