Pros

Decent pay, but not something you wouldn’t get somewhere else. You may be lucky enough to end up in a good team, with colleagues sharing your mindset. Or not.

Cons

Can’t stress enough how much senior managament lacks leadership. However, it doesn’t look like something is going to change. They try to sell you some ideas like “hypergrowth”, “not for everyone” just to mask out the demeaning and toxic way in which senior management behaves. From engineering point of view, don’t expect a consistent progress in your career. You’re hired to get it done, not to come up with ideas. Processes are chaotic and very few things are actually streamlined. Some people are still working towards proving themselves, so 10-12 hours work days are a thing. If you don’t do it, don’t ever expect any kind of meaningful recognition. Work smart, not hard, might be the case, but, let’s not forget, they hire smart people. Quite a few experienced and good engineers have either left or started laying low, just because things don’t seem to change. It’s difficult to find the will to prove yourself in front of someone who gives you no reasons to respect them/inspire you. If you’re a yes man, then be prepared for burnout. Also, having managers telling everyone “good job” on every little thing, is not recognition. Just diminishes the meaning of what “good job” means. And we can tell they don’t actually mean it.

Revolut Response

Hi there, thank you for sharing your thoughts. We can hear your discontentment with some of your Revolut experience and we'd like to try to fix that. If you have suggestions on how we can improve your situation, please consider raising them with your line manager and let's see what we can improve. That said, there's no denying that Revolut is on a high growth trajectory as our continually growing customer base and rate of expansion show. That makes this a great place for ambitious, enthusiastic people who want to learn and grow fast but we recognise too that we all have different thresholds for pressure and varied workload capacities so we try to be aware of those differences. We're still growing our capacity and processes fast to meet demand so sometimes our processes and workload haven't been as well managed as we intend or we haven't communicated as carefully as we might - but we do listen and we're always working to improve.. We're 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 and our new exciting office spaces (RevLabs). We certainly hope you stay the course as a Revoluter. All the best.
