Pros

- Great smart colleagues - Stock options - You can learn a lot from relatively high-loaded project, if you haven't had this experience earlier - Relocation to London/Berlin - Chance to be promoted, if you work extremely hard.

Cons

- The CEO is killing his own company, and it's sad to see. The atmosphere of shaming and bulling from top management (including the CEO) and general fear of all others just eat you gradually. You either adapt and break smth inside yourself, or leave. - Ridiculous micromanagement on all levels, especially by the CEO. - Crazy deadlines and expectations from you to do overtimes don't worth the money they offer. - Because of general fear of the CEO nobody argues with him and nobody proposes anything different to his opinion. This eventually leads to huge mistakes made in the environment without any criticism, because there are no perfect people with perfect decisions, even though Nik thinks so...

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we appreciate you taking the time. We’re proud of our leadership and their drive and determination to build a financial superApp that makes life easier for all our customers. Maybe our enthusiasm sometimes runs away with us - so we’ll take your comments on board. That said, we’re constantly looking for ways to grow our leadership skills and we hope our leadership communications guidelines will help us improve in this area. We welcome feedback at every level and hope that our Town Halls, where you can feedback to our leaders directly, help address your concerns. Our ambitious targets do sometimes mean working some extra hours on particular deadlines, but we hope that our compensation fairly reflects this and this is why we’re generous with our holiday allowance. We’re sorry to hear that you’re not enjoying some aspects of your work here, and would ask that you escalate your feedback internally so that we can try and address some of your concerns.

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.
