Cons

The overall culture in Revolut is at the same time chaotic and toxic. Once you join the organization, you are labeled as a "B player." On the first day, HR and your manager already put you under high pressure by saying that it's not for everyone to be promoted to "A player" by the end of the probationary period. If you fail, you are not going to be confirmed in the company.

You are evaluated on the basis of unrealistic KPIs decided by inexperienced managers who have been in the company long enough to be promoted. The company expects you to work 24/7 to accomplish these KPIs. So, expect to work 12-15 hours every day and during weekends with no extra pay for overtime hours.

Technical decisions are taken in a rush most of the time, taking shortcuts which can be risky.

This company pretends too much from yourself, and this has negatively affected my private life. I accepted the first offer on the table.
