Revel Systems Reviews

Cons

Culture from San Francisco office can be challenging

Cons

Choice in management was based on favoritism and they are generally bullies. Downsizing APAC region was not dealt with very well, continuously promising that this cut is the only one that will be made but a couple weeks later another department was gone.

Cons

long hours and long commute

Cons

Sometimes, especially for the first couple of months, I had to work long hours to hit target.

Cons

Internal processes need to be developed but I guess it is a part of a daily life in every rapidly growing company.

Cons

- Changes in day to day processes, should become easier but not seen yet
- Still organizational cleanup to do

Cons

Revel is still going through a large cultural change so there are still some start up hang ups in processes and individuals.

Cons

Developing sales process that needs some work.

Cons

I saw the last few reviews and decided to clear things out. All these have been posted by management, look how they are trying to give all the credit to the "new management" and even writing a review about the main current "leader", the style is even the same which leads to believe that it's the same person.
Truth: this place is going down very fast, the sales numbers are not promising but they keep telling us that things are ok every time they give us some BS All Hands. They keep adding some C Level folks like if they have the magic stick and they can turn things around, this is simply enjoying leading a company and bringing the old friends to share the cake while not adding any value, nothing will work believe me and if you want to know the truth simply ask the people that have seen all the changes and lived the good old days.
Oh and don't you forget that some people have been promoted just because, you can't even understand the reasons. The lady, to not mention names as I respect the rules of posting, that was harassing and sleeping around with other ladies that work here and in return for some favors like forcing their managers to accept them working from "home" while they take off together enjoying the sun in Mexico, the trips to Lithuania together, the love story that they disrespectfully enjoy at a work place, this person that simply talks a lot just to cover how strategically weak she is, has been simply promoted to a C Level? how, well it takes a lot of BS and kissing...
There is no culture anymore, there is nothing to enjoy in this place. Ah and folks in SF, whatever they tell us, we are all moving to Hotlanta one day if they keep this same strategy, enjoy!

Cons

Where to begin? Management is a joke. They keep incompetent managers and directors around, and repeatedly promote people with little to no experience. Those who actually know what they're doing and put in hard work are never rewarded. Favoritism much??

Pay is also laughable. I was promised a promotion and raise, and it took nearly 2 years to see a minor raise (3%). Never once saw the promotion either, despite constantly being promised it would happen soon. The company did, however, have no issues in forcing me take on the role of the manager.

Turn-over rates are impressively bad! People are in and out of that company so fast. Those who do stick it out are usually stuck there, or have made it onto management's good side.

Revel has also continued to hire useless C-Level execs, while ignoring positions that actually need to be filled. The company's priorities when it comes to hiring are insane. People who are left to deal with the vacancies then get burnt out working the job of 3 people, and also leave. I guess their solution is to just hire more execs?

The worst part is probably the lack of innovation. Revel had a great idea years ago, but there's no push to innovate, and now they simply try to mimic Square.
