Vantaggi

Great salary or package with no extra benefits.

Svantaggi

No clear boundaries and role definition for engineering and product departments. Projects are mostly driven by Product owners with very little say from engineers. Micro-management by Product Owners which is justified as POs are concerned about the product delivery. (This is a serious problem as per me as Micro-Management is not even considered worth solving, instead is justified by saying that POs are more concerned and indirectly saying that engineers are not concerned and this shows the lack of trust between the two groups) No clear career progression framework, employees are simply promoted based on project delivery (without even validating the quality of delivered product) and with no proper 360 degree feedback compilation. Revolut have some young talented people at prominent positions who consider their way of working as the only correct way and doesn’t even bother to understand other perspectives and concerns with the approach followed.

Hi there, thank you for your comment. Companies take many approaches to engineering and product ownership and our approach may not be the same as your experience elsewhere. It is not that any team is more important than the other or to imply any lack of trust or respect. Product teams have a wider overview of everything related to the product (GTM, roadmaps, information from key stakeholders) so we ask that other teams take their lead. We'd like to believe that all our people are as open to alternative perspectives as they are talented. If this wasn't your experience, we wish you had raised your concerns through our internal channels where someone may have been able to help. We wish you the best in your next step.

Vantaggi

Working at Revolut was one of the most rewarding experiences in my career. Every day brought something new to learn, and I was trusted with meaningful work from the beginning. The pace is fast, but that's exactly what helped me develop my analytical thinking, decision-making, and financial crime investigation skills. I genuinely enjoyed working with my team, they were approachable, knowledgeable, and always willing to help when needed. If you're someone who enjoys solving complex problems, taking ownership, and continuously learning, you'll appreciate the culture here. Looking back, I'm grateful for everything I learned during my time at Revolut.

Svantaggi

The probation period can be quite challenging because the expectations are high from the start. There is a lot to learn in a relatively short period, and it can feel a little overwhelming initially. That said, once you adapt to the pace and understand the processes, it becomes much more manageable and rewarding.
