Pros: Possibility to switch teams, a competitive salary, experience exchange, and I found friends here.

Cons: The promote system is unclear. Some teams need to be reviewed, and processes should be changed there.

Pros: Nice salary. Lots of strong developers.

Cons: Poor management. Work for 12-16 hours a day, without compensation. Legacy code. Overcomplicated project. No matter from what team you are, you would work on all parts of the project, because there is no proper way of escalation.

Pros: + Generally nice people. + IT requests answered very fast. + Lots to learn about what not to do when you become a leader.

Cons: Technology: I was told Revolut hated using frameworks like Spring, which is great, I thought, since I tend to avoid frameworks too! So I was shocked to discover when I joined that the CTO had written a trash framework himself that he forces everyone to use. Worst of all, if you complain about his framework, he tells you: "It's only a few classes, so it shouldn't get in the way of anything." When it gets in the way of anything, then you fail your probation (luckily, I was never vocal). This means the code at Rev is just a gigantic bunch of hacks around a trash framework. Also, they don't use CQRS. That's just a straight lie. Also, instead of using an existing message queue like Kafka or something else, they decided to build their own, which has so many problems with reliability and missing features, I don't even know what to say. Culture: As you can tell from the other reviews, the culture sucks & they make you work weekends, deadlines, etc. But the worst part of this whole thing is that one day you come in to work & you see your work friend's Slack account has been deactivated – no warning, just fired. This has happened to me a dozen times at Rev now. Also, you'll regularly see people shouting at each other in person, like genuinely arguing in the middle of the floor. HR: There is no HR. The Head of People is a lackey of the CEO with zero HR experience. Also, they monitor your Slack, so be careful. CEO: Nik is a very smart guy! I really like him as a person having worked with him. He's very driven & gives good advice. But, and this is a big but, Nik sadly isn't mature enough to be a CEO of a company in our stage. We need to move the focus away from growth & invest in building PnL, so I think right now is the right time for him to step down and for Rev to find an experienced CEO to drive the company to profitability.
