Pros

Working from home, nothing else

Cons

Beneath Revolut's shiny exterior and misleading propaganda lies a darker reality – an exploitative culture that dehumanises employees by treating people like robots, just cogs in a profit-driven machine that relentlessly pursuits growth and profit at the expense of employee's wellbeing and ethics. Recruiters won't tell you about the company's toxic work environment, characterised by long hours, unrealistic targets, and relentless pressure to meet aggressive goals without any kind of support....because they are under pressure to meet their own targets. Employees are expected to work around the clock, sacrificing their personal lives for the sake of the company's bottom line. This culture of overwork not only leads to burnout but unsurprisingly short lived tenure. It's rare to come across anyone who's been there more than 2 years and that's because Revolut management sees employees as expendable resources rather than valued individuals. People are fired if falling short of the target for just a quarter and in violation of essential legal rights, let alone human decency. As workers we must demand better from companies like Revolut, holding them accountable for their unethical practices and advocating for a more humane approach to business, don't fall into the trap.

Hi! Thank you for your review! While we’re sorry to hear about your negative experience, we’d like to address the concerns you’ve raised regarding the work environment and culture. While we have a fast-paced and ambitious environment, we also prioritise the wellbeing of our employees. At Revolut, we strive to foster an inclusive and supportive work environment where all employees feel valued, respected, and able to thrive. We have numerous programs in place to promote employee wellbeing and development. We believe that clear performance expectations help us all focus on the same goals, and direct support where it's needed. KPIs are discussed and agreed between line managers and employees, to make sure we’re all aligned. When setting these goals, we’re driven by our values — Never Settle, Get it Done, and Deliver WOW. If we hadn't remained true to these values over the past seven years, we wouldn't be able to call ourselves a global financial superapp today. We appreciate your feedback, and wish you all the 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.
