Dictatorship as work

Pros

- Good salary * - Clear recruitment process - Most of the teammates - Nice knowledge *Unless you had any bonus, in that case probably it will be removed to save some money and use it for other purposes.

Cons

- The work-life balance is non-existent, your work will depend on the company's requirements. - Absent planification, if you have a shift position you will not know your next month schedule probably until less than a week left. - Never settle: That means that your tasks, even your team, could change in less than 24h without your consent. - Stronger together: if you share your opinion or simply ask for something that differs from the opinion with senior management, for example: Any manager or Head of ____. You'll get in trouble and they'll find a way to fire you. Or maybe you are simply forced to leave. - Think deeper: If you want to get promotions you have several options. Do your line manager work, get an absurd amount of extra tasks, or simply befriend management. Doing your work is not sufficient, think deeper, guys. - If you liked Game of Thrones this is a pro: The quarter quarterly performance depends on a lot of non-objective factors. What does it mean? If you commit some mistake that goes against the hive mind probably you will be stabbed and your work for the last months will mean zero. And be careful, you can also go on PIP and eventually get fired. On the other hand, if you are a person who loves politics, you will love this place. - Just to clarify, everything shared on Wired was true. And I'd add is getting worse, I do not recommend this place unless you really need the money. Your mental health, and eventually your physical one, will be affected.

Pros

- very talented group of professionals - extremely quick turnarounds - lots of love for the product - team works on its best

Cons

- crazy unrealistic amount of work - an insane level of micromanagement from the CEO - feels quite like a boys club sometimes, with everything that could mean.

Hi there, thank you for writing a review. Revolut prides itself on hiring A-players who have a great deal of drive to make a real change, and we're glad you've found that to be true. Revolut has a huge ambition to reinvent how the world does money, and that can require a lot from our people. Most Revoluters achieve tons and have a positive experience, so we'd recommend having an open chat with your line manager to help reprioritise some of your work. Please also consider giving feedback through our internal channels. We also want this to be a place where everyone feels comfortable with the same opportunities so let us know what doesn;t feel right to you. Our People team considers all feedback seriously, so do make your voice count. Thank you for all that you do at Revolut. We wish you well.

Pros

Great product and ambitious company

Cons

- you can't bring your best authentic self since they expect you to be cold and aggressive like the CEO - only motivation to do your job is out of fear - the company doesn't really care about your career

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. It’s really disappointing that you feel that you can’t be authentic at work. We want everyone to feel comfortable in themselves in every team. We do hope however that you don’t mistake others’ personal reserve for aggression. We care a great deal about our people and strive to offer useful learning and career development opportunities. As well as benefiting employees, we want to ensure that our products stay innovative and we can only achieve that with fresh and broad perspectives. Please do fill out our weekly internal surveys. These help us pinpoint where changes may be needed and will help us improve your Revolut experience.
