Pros

Revolut's product is great and its digital experience is perhaps one of the best in the market. We also have smart and passionate folks working in the company

Cons

Leadership and promotions - experienced folks are driven out of the companies, leaving young, inexperienced but early joiners to be promoted. The recent promotions or changes in leadership appointments ( on the Heads level ) are testamonts to this bad practise - inexperienced heads of departments are promoted due to length of time in company, rather than competency. - some of the product promotions to head levels don't make sense at all as they do not have proper product management experience, some can't even speak English properly. CEO - CEO is doing what he believes in, but unfortunately, he should have promoted or retained folks with industry experience, rather than promoting yes-man to head of departments just so he can continue to micro-manage the product.

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.
