Pros

A fast-growing and ambitious company with a dynamic and efficient work environment. Processes and bureaucratic hurdles are addressed promptly, which keeps things moving smoothly. Compensation is competitive. The engineering team stands out — highly skilled, collaborative, and genuinely supportive colleagues. There are also good opportunities for internal mobility across teams and departments.

Cons

Some productivity metrics, like lines of code or PR count. The culture favors those who prioritize work and seek big, complex challenges. Industry-standard frameworks are rarely used, which may affect long-term skill relevance. Compensation can be inconsistent — new mid-level hires might out-earn experienced seniors or leads. Team quality varies: some have weak product direction. It's easy to experience imposter syndrome, even as a strong engineer.

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.
