      Pros

      You get to work with really smart people, who are very passionate about the mission, there's a great energy and enthusiasm about the place. Autonomy is a big plus and you're given the space to explore what you want to achieve. You feel like you're part of something really exciting to it's easy to stay motivated.

      Cons

      There is still some growing up to do, both in terms of processes and management.

      Thank you for your honest and positive review, we're glad that you feel excited about the energy here. We recognise that we still have some growing to do, and we're working hard to put solid processes in place. Thanks also for your recommendation about management training, we’re working to support our managers with our Management and Leadership Guild and our Learning and Development Manager is working to create programs to ensure that we’re getting the best out of our management at all times.

      Worst management ever

      Pros

      + smart colleagues + great for learning and development

      Cons

      Senior management treats employees as mere numbers. CEO openly said managers should gladly let under-performers go during townhall and pointed out employees are being lazy when everyone in the company literally works all the time even during weekend. Good managers are those who can fire employees without a blink. Company recently introduced quarterly performance reviews so they have more opportunities to fire people. Management rules by intimidation. If employees don’t follow certain process or meet certain deadlines, their bonus will get deducted. Senior managements often openly harass employees, calling people idiots and micro manage every little aspects. Some employees are also being let go simply because they disobey orders from above. The remaining employees become too afraid to speak out and just work hard to satisfy requirements from senior management. You don’t get praise when doing a good job but imagine the worst when you screw up. Politics in the company drive teams to work against each other. Every team is too busy optimising their KPI without thinking long term. No resources nor support are provided for personal development. There are materials on HR portal for it but they are not useful at all. Climbing up career ladder in Revolut is a suicide mission. Avoid at all cost.

      Thank you for your honest feedback, we appreciate you taking the time to let us know where you think we can improve. We take any claims of harassment extremely seriously and strongly urge you to speak to management and use the whistleblowing channels available so that these claims can be thoroughly and promptly investigated. Our senior management, from the CEO down, recognise the commitment of our employees and do so regularly at Town Halls and elsewhere. Even more so since the Covid19 outbreak. Quarterly performance reviews are common across many industries and give both management and employees a chance to honestly assess whether their work is on track, and provide an opportunity to offer support or coaching if needed, to help people achieve their goals. Where people have left after a performance review, this follows formal review and discussion of their performance, where the company believes that the employee has not achieved the expected performance. We train managers in performance management to ensure that assessment is fair and that employees understand their goals. Bonuses being linked to performance is a very common practice and we believe is a great incentive for our employees to meet their goals and KPIs. We are glad that you feel that you’re surrounded by fellow smart Revoluters, and that you are enjoying the learning and development opportunities at Revolut, and would ask you once again to speak to your manager about your pain points.

      Pros

      - Good Salaries - Great office space - Free Deliveroo

      Cons

      You only have to read some the most recent reviews to understand what it's like to work at Revolut. "A lot of good people around but culture is awful" "No work life balance, Management only cares about your works not you." "Top down micro management and unachievable targets" "Innovating company but complete wrong management" "Bad management, poor HR practices, would avoid" "Not recommended even if Revolut brand name big" There is no real autonomy to make a difference. Teams are not empowered to set and focus on longer term strategies. Senior leadership style is more of a dictatorship, with teams simply closing actions coming from the top. It's dire. Very open about company willingness to fire people with a '0% underperformance target by the end of 2020 at any cost' objective. General vibe is unfriendly and unsupportive. Glassdoor responses feel PR driven rather than respond to actual issues. You simply cannot sugar coat how the company acts. Yes, we may be building a rocket ship, but unless we develop a heart as a business, it's gonna crash.

      We’d like to thank you for taking the time to write this review, we do take these seriously and pass on all feedback to the appropriate people. Revolut’s performance review process includes time for informal and formal check ins on performance. Where people have been let go after a performance review, this follows formal review and discussion of their performance and where the company believes that the employee has not achieved the expected performance. We feel that we’re an organisation where everyone’s ideas are respected, and that people have the autonomy and support to be able to pursue those ideas, so it’s disappointing that this hasn’t been your experience so far with us. We would urge you to escalate this to anyone in management you feel you can speak to. Thanks again for your recommendations, please know that they will be passed on.
