Pros

Smart colleagues You'll get to do some interesting and challenging tasks, a decent opportunity for the beginning of your career Great product overall, you feel like you're making a difference, fast time to market Performance bonuses

Cons

Poor work-life balance No job security, be ready to get kicked out after a quarterly performance review An atmosphere of a constant competition instead of cooperation A lot of pressure from management, nobody really cares about the quality of the final product; you're going to jump from one project to another, not having enough time to build a good quality product No QA, so as a dev you'll have to do all the testing on your own Changing the performance bonus calculation scheme at the very last moment so that employees receive much less than was promised before, undermining trust No salary adjustments for years, the company completely ignores the fact that there's inflation, so be ready to see inflation eating up your salary Very hard to get promoted, extremely obscure requirements. Management might keep giving you the same grades over and over despite your efforts Employees are treated as assets, which results in high turnover. Don't expect that your loyalty to the company will be appreciated

Thank you for your feedback. It’s a shame that your Revolut experience didn’t work out. 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 work hard to make Revolut a great place to work and we respect people's right to a decent work life balance. We're also serious about feedback from Revoluters. By intently listening, we've birthed new policies, such as our hybrid working arrangement, 60-day temporary working abroad flexibility, 2 extra wellbeing days, Team Engagement budgets or RevManagerHub. As you are our current employee I encourage you to discuss any issues either with your manager, or function leader. We’re constantly looking to ensure that we support the people who enable us to create great products and support our customers. Wishing you all the best,
