Pros

- Remote work - Steep learning curve - Smart peer sets

Cons

While you have seen firms fail because of poor liquidity, product, vision, etc. the biggest things that stops Revolut is its high attrition and work pressure So let’s compare (source: LinkedIN) - Top valued firms such as Microsoft, Apple have avg tenure or 4+ years - Fintech companies such as Nubank, Wise, Monzo have avg tenure of 1.6-2 years - Even a cut throat consulting firm such as BCG has 2.3 years of avg tenure - whereas at Revolut the avg tenure of 1.2 years Yes this is 70% lower than big tech and 30% lower than other fintechs. This precisely means that there are nearly 50% chances that you might not see a colleague after 1 Y at Revolut Sad right?, this gets much worse for you if you are working on long term initiatives, where there is lack of knowledge transfer, ownership, motivation. As a result people just pick stuff that can get results in 3-4 months. This is precisely the reason big firms fail, as no one sees the direction of Titanic. Don’t forget they have a brutal recruitment, probation process. Only the best make it. Despite having the best folks people quit in 7-10 months after probation. You ask why? - Strict quarterly review ( yes your performance is evaluated every quarter as a result you are on the treadmill for ever) - If you get rated average - or unsatisfactory be ready to pack your bada - Team attrition, pushy leadership, no space to relax eventually makes smart people burn out faster than in IB or consulting - Everything is KPI, so all inputs / outputs might have zero impact if you are stuck in a rabbit hole department I would say do think through before joining, talk to few folks in the firm.

Hello! We appreciate your review! Revolut is a rapidly expanding and dynamic business. We’ve accomplished significant milestones within a remarkably brief period, and this ambitious environment can present occasional challenges. In our daily endeavours, we’re guided by our core principles — Never Settle, Get it Done, and Deliver WOW. We couldn’t claim the title of a global financial superapp if we hadn't upheld these principles consistently over the past eight years. Our team stands as our most invaluable resource, and we never compromise on talent. We meticulously select, nurture, and retain the finest individuals, providing them with dedicated support to achieve greatness. Our objectives are openly discussed and mutually agreed-upon between supervisors and employees, ensuring that they not only inspire the company, but also ignite passion within every Revoluter. We firmly believe that clearly defined performance expectations enable us all to channel our focus on shared priorities and collaborative efforts where they’re most needed. We appreciate your input and encourage you to reach out to your manager to discuss any specific concerns you may have. Kind regards!

Pros

wfh, allowances,home workstation setup cost,day shift

Cons

I would recommend each and every individual to please read this post because this has happened with me but i want this to not happen with anyone else. Please do not join this company in your life because your job is never secure here they can fire you in any minute and you will be left with tears and nothing else. they set you on very high targets in your probation expect you to clear them when even the tenure's are not able to meet those targets they do not give any proper trainings and things will get worse when you go on ramp because you will not have any support from anyone your TL does not CARE anything about you and neither you can expect support from teammates they just care about their money and bussiness. A COMPANY LIKE THIS WHO DO NOT CARE FOR THEIR EMPLOYEES CAN NEVER BECOME A BIG COMPANY AND THIS WILL FOR SURE GONNA HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE TEARS THEY HAVE BROUGHT TO THE PEOPLE WHO WORKED THERE GAVE EVERYHING AND STILL GOT FIRED

Pros

Good Salary , Unbiased management

Cons

Honestly, I was never at peace since day 1 of joining this company, since beginning we were told that if we wont perform, we would be terminated immediately. After joining, I got to know that Revolut is doing bulk hiring and firing. Every Monday, minimum 100 people were/are hired from India for support roles and everyday alot of them are terminated as well. Unfortunately, I was also one of them. First 20 days were training, where we were taught about their products and then a test was conducted for which there were 2 attempts. If you don't manage to clear the 2nd attempt also you will be terminated on an immediate basis. After the test, you will start working on real time chats, and will be given unachievable targets. The reason why I am saying unachievable is because it was for me. Not everyone has the same grasping power or learning pace. I was evaluated for around 28 working days and was asked to leave bcz i didn't meet my targets. I have honestly never heard of such a company who terminates on the results of around 28 working days. And I know, it has happened or its been happening to alot of other people as well specially we Indians, coz our labor laws aren't strict and they are getting cheap labor from India. Revolut pays higher salary than the rest of the companies, which is the only attracting factor for many to join. The interview is quite simple and easy to crack, but the worst is only after joining the company.

Hello! Thank you for your review! At Revolut, we're a fast-paced, rapidly growing company. We've achieved a lot in a short time, and this ambitious, dynamic environment can indeed present challenges. We firmly believe that clear performance expectations help us align on common objectives and provide targeted support where needed. Our Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are a product of discussions and agreements between managers and employees, ensuring shared understanding. Additionally, it's worth noting that our KPIs are tailored to roles and specializations rather than specific countries. When setting goals, we are guided by our core values: Never Settle, Get it Done, and Deliver WOW. Staying true to these values over the past eight years has been instrumental in our journey to becoming a global financial superapp. We appreciate all that you've contributed during your time here, and we wish you the best in your next role. - Ryan Jun Hyung Park, Head of HR (APAC)
