Pros

- Decent pay compared to other similar roles.

Cons

- Top-down culture - Micromanagement is openly encouraged by the CEO. - Micromanagement in long run killed creativity as it has the opposite effect with bright talent. - Designers are afraid of speaking up in product reviews even when they get stupid feedback from senior management. It seems like the company hired top talent and ruined their craftsmanship. - Feedback is often given in a demeaning and unprofessional way. Senior management really needs to grow up. - Too many hands spoil the broth.

Revolut has grown tremendously fast and our ambition can require a lot from our people.

To help us realise our ambitions we try to be honest and frank with each other and to provide useful, actionable feedback. If that's not working for you please try chatting with your line or functional manager or the people team and let's see what we can fix. Thanks for your feedback.

Good product - bad staff management

Pros

Great office and benefits, competitive salary, flexible working schedule

Cons

Young managers with no idea how to lead teams, long hours, massive redundancies without proper reason (they're using quarterly performance reviews as an excuse to get rid of people).

Thank you for taking time to write us a review. We want our Revoluters to do their best work with us, so thank you for recognising the benefits that we have worked so hard to make happen. We’re proud of our ambition, and we know our goals demand a lot from people - but that should never have a negative impact on our employees. We know that the pace at Revolut isn't for everyone but we're glad that the thousands who stay the course are energised by challenging each other to achieve the best possible outcome. We wish you the best.

Pros

Revolut's product is great and its digital experience is perhaps one of the best in the market. We also have smart and passionate folks working in the company

Cons

Leadership and promotions - experienced folks are driven out of the companies, leaving young, inexperienced but early joiners to be promoted. The recent promotions or changes in leadership appointments ( on the Heads level ) are testamonts to this bad practise - inexperienced heads of departments are promoted due to length of time in company, rather than competency. - some of the product promotions to head levels don't make sense at all as they do not have proper product management experience, some can't even speak English properly. CEO - CEO is doing what he believes in, but unfortunately, he should have promoted or retained folks with industry experience, rather than promoting yes-man to head of departments just so he can continue to micro-manage the product.

Thank you for your review, we appreciate your feedback which will be passed on. We work hard to give our managers and leaders the training that they need to help us mature as an organisation and we realise that as a startup, we still have steps to take in this area. Please do fill out our weekly surveys. These help us pinpoint where changes may be needed and will help us improve your Revolut experience. It’s great to see that you’re enjoying working with your team and on our great product, and we hope that we can improve your experience with us.
