Pros

- Technical challenges - You can grow if you're willing to work very hard - If you don't, you can just 9-5 without much worry - No "hybrid office" bs - Good engineering and software delivery practices - No layoffs

Cons

- Toxic people, especially some of Russians/Belarusians/Ukrainians - A ton of bureaucracy, and you need to know people to get around it. E.g., you may wait for your PR to be merged for days, but if you know a guy there, he can merge it for you right now. If you don't... - Company is thrift - e.g., you only get a Macbook and £400 to set up a home office, and that's it - no external screen, no education budget, very hard to get funding to go to conferences. Always the cheepest wine at parties, etc, etc. Maybe it's connected to "no layoffs" point though. - There's the whole promotion framework, but very little clarity w.r.t how much money you will get at the next level. Some people get none, only more responsibility. - Stupid corporate "values" are stuffed into every exec's message. The only real value is "deliver, deliver, deliver, and no one will care if you're a jerk". - Attrition is very high - London office is very lackluster

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.
