Pros

Good technology Usually slightly above average pay

Cons

Truly the most shocking culture I have ever witnessed. I have 5 years experience and have worked globally across the world. Revolut offered me the job via Linkedin and I have worked there for 6 months. Managers are not trained and some rarely check in with their team. Additionally, you are given targets/kpis after probation that are so high there would be no way to meet them in 40 hour work week. If you do not meet the targets once in a quarter, you immediately are triggered into a PIP plan (without your consent) and I have seen 50% of my team leave or be forced to leave. They will not take into account the challenges set by them (changing goal posts, not having enough budget which means we cannot reach our targets.) The managers do not have your back, there is no focus on wellbeing. Taking a day off gives you anxiety because the targets are so high. I truly cannot comprehend how bad this culture is. I also read 50% of Revolut hires leave or are fired (by pip) within 6 months. It is purposely set up this way and it is truly immoral and shameful company.

Pros

+ Everyone knows Revolut - easier conversations. + Product is top tier. + Good benefits. + Good on your resume.

Cons

- Poor sales leadership - for a company so successful, very shocked at the low calibre of talent in senior sales roles. But product is so strong and they are not measured on employee retention so impossible for them to fail. - Tech stack minimal. - Large elements of favouritism.
