      You can learn a lot but you won't be rewarded for above average work

      Java developer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      + Revolut moves very fast, there are new features released every few weeks so you get a lot of opportunities to do something new & learn. + Work here is very satisfying as you get to do stuff that's used by millions of user and it's delivered to them every two weeks. + You can participate in the recruitment process which can improve your soft and technical skills from a different direction + Base salary above average + Work is very well organized as you know what's expected from you and when you have to deliver something, the lower management is doing a good job at keeping everything tight. Although that might be just my case, a lot of people have crappy managers who don't know how to manage and sometimes are bullies.

      Cons

      - No bonus, there are performance reviews and if you did a good job then the only thing you get are options for stocks which are worth nothing. Ideally you should be able to sell them during funding rounds which happen every few years but it's not possible as only small subset of people are allowed to sell a small subset of their stocks thanks to very picky conditions. Most of the people have never turned their stocks into something valuable hence there's no bonus and no appreciation of your good work. - If you'd like to learn something new that you don't already do at work then there are no opportunities as company doesn't provide any access to learning platforms/ebooks so people can't step up their game - Management thinks that that adding a congrats bot will solve the problem of not being rewarded for great work

      Thanks very much for taking the time to let us know about your experience with us so far. We’re glad you’re enjoying the learning experience here and the impact that you’re making on our customers. We’re also really pleased that our systems are providing the structure to help you deliver work efficiently. We grant our performance bonuses in stock options because we believe this gives our people a stake in the future development of the company and helps our people to feel even more invested in Revolut. It also enables you to share in Revolut’s success and to benefit from our growth in the long term. Whilst we appreciate that the returns may not be immediate, our share options should deliver value in the longer term as the company continues to grow. We do have extensive learning resources that our Learning and Development team would be really pleased to help you navigate, and we are keen that everyone has the opportunity to develop their professional skills.

      Hey thanks for your honest review. We’re glad that you found your projects interesting and that our benefits package worked for you. We encourage effective communication and learning, and that’s why we often bring staff over from country offices to HQ. We appreciate your taking the time to let us know where we can improve. As we were in the process of huge growth last year, we didn’t have all of our processes perfected and we relied a lot on our people to pick up slack as we hired in new specialists for those roles. We are committed to making sure that our processes are scalable and that we provide enough support company-wide. We never want anyone to feel that they’re working in a negative environment, and from hiring all the way through to performance reviews, our People team emphasises the values that we support and behaviour we do not tolerate. We would still appreciate more detail on these issues so that we can improve, so please do get in touch directly to give us further feedback.

      Great hiring process

      Pros

      I just accepted the offer from Revolut, so I don’t have any experience as an employee yet, but the recruitment process was great. Everyone at Revolut did their best to help me get through all the interviews. The recruitment manager was very friendly and gave a lot of good advice.

      Cons

      No cons, at least for now.
