It's not as bad as you think but quite hectic as it's a work in progress

Pros

+ ambitions & goals of the company + young talented people around, hungry to learn + exposure to a lot of things, can wear different hats and move from one team / dept to another as there's no formal procedures right now + you can relocate to another country as there's expansion going on and new offices are being opened in many places

Cons

- poor management as most of team owners are quite young and inexperienced, they do not know how to work with people and lack emotional intelligence - turnover because of poor management and inexperienced HR (it's 2 people in HR for 180 people at the office) - no org structure, no clear vision on how to grow within your team or move to another one, everything is subjective; you wouldn't know why one person is mid and one is senior, no one can explain it to you - huge focus on tech people and if you don't have CS degree, you are "useless" or "not smart" no matter what you do and how much you work

Pros

Maybe a somewhat different take on what it feels like Everyone is important. There are no people whose work doesn’t matter. A support agent that works to help specific people with any queries they may have can either clear up all their questions and worries or ruin their day by being ignorant and invasive. A product owner is here to identify and solve problems that make the most difference for our customers, yet should they fail it will have us make more mistakes on our journey to make people’s lives better. We support each other and are interested in getting to the results we work towards (a) as a team and (b) in a sustainable manner. We have ups and downs together, team rather than individual KPIs, and closely coupled goals across the teams. Everyone in the company is interested in everyone’s else success and has the time to clear out any blockers and answer the questions. The data team I’m part of and can tell most about is very friendly and cheerful) And this is not to mention the high calibre of the people you will be working and interacting with. We take responsibility for what we do and what we build. You become part of a rapidly growing team that is still taking shape and morphing, and, whatever your role is, are on one hell of a ride that is work in a rapidly growing smartly built start-up where decisions are based on data and there is no place for complacency and ignorance.

Cons

Taking the responsibility and connecting to what you do will likely mean every now and then going an extra mile. Little matters how much or how little you work, yet it’s intensive and I would not think of life at Revolut as a nine-to-five job. And it’s also your responsibility to avoid burnout and manage your time well. Not everything depends on you. Hardly anything is set in stone, which is mostly good yet at times frustrating, and if what you’ve been working on is no longer relevant to improving what we do and how we do it, it will be let go of. If it’s not the solution and bringing value to what people get with us that matter to you, it may be difficult and might seem somewhat unjust. People that wake up in the morning not knowing what are they doing in this world and need to be told of what’s the meaning of it all (preferably in an invigorating manner) may wilt in a culture of making a difference and getting it done.

Pros

- Competent & willing to help colleagues - Disrupting banking sector - No day is like the other - Diversity - Friendly atmosphere - A place where you grow professionally & personally

Cons

- no 13th salary or any mid-year bonus :/ - no external trainings - the company does not cover any educational costs (i.e. an online course which would make you better & more competent and knowledgeable in your specific area and thus make company as such better too).
