Pros

Salaries are high, annual leave allowance is good. Parental leave policy looks attractive (but employees tend to be young, single).

Cons

Toxic culture, everything is very transactional and employees are very much treated like a commodity and resource rather than human beings. No consideration is given to what employees want from their career at Revolut. KPIs are wildly unattainable and often not strategic or a good indicator of a person's ability to do a job. There is zero female representation on the board. The organisation is continuously battling significant regulatory challenges and audit issues, and frequently fall below par and miss deadlines. Revolut has a 'revolving door' of employees. Churn is incredibly high and no effort is made to retain talent.

Thank you for your review. We’re sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy your experience with us. We believe that clear KPIs help ensure that we all understand our goals and how we'll get there, but we know that they aren't the only indicator of your contribution. We admire people who live our values and support their colleagues in getting stuff done. Not only that, but we’re constantly looking to ensure that we support the people who enable us to create great products and support our customers. By intently listening to our employees, we've birthed new policies, such as new performance bonus (on top of existing scheme), new promotion philosophy, Birthday Leave, hybrid working arrangement, 60-day temporary working abroad flexibility, 2 extra wellbeing days, Team Engagement budgets or RevManager Hub. Revolut is absolutely committed to equal opportunities and we are keen to increase the diversity of our workforce at all levels. We are proud to employ people of more than 80 nationalities and we have targets and programmes to improve the proportion of women in our leadership. We don't have as many women as we'd like at senior levels yet but we're working to fix that. We're sorry if you aren't yet seeing those efforts. We’ve a fast-paced culture, so we appreciate that Revolut might not be the right place for everyone - but our people achieve a huge amount and have a lot of fun. Please make sure that you’re also airing your concerns internally through the available channels. Wishing you best.

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.
