You can learn a lot, but you won't be rewarded for above-average work

Pros

Revolut moves very fast; new features are released every few weeks, so you get many opportunities to do something new and learn.

Work here is very satisfying as you get to do stuff that's used by millions of users and it's delivered to them every two weeks.

You can participate in the recruitment process, which can improve your soft and technical skills from a different direction.

Base salary is above average.

Work is very well organized, as you know what's expected of you and when you have to deliver something. The lower management does a good job at keeping everything tight. Although that might be just my case, many people have crappy managers who don't know how to manage and sometimes are bullies.

Cons
  • No bonus. There are performance reviews, and if you did a good job, the only thing you get are options for stocks, which are worth nothing. Ideally, you should be able to sell them during funding rounds, which happen every few years, but it's not possible as only a small subset of people are allowed to sell a small subset of their stocks, thanks to very picky conditions. Most people have never turned their stocks into something valuable, hence there's no bonus and no appreciation of your good work.

  • If you'd like to learn something new that you don't already do at work, there are no opportunities, as the company doesn't provide any access to learning platforms or ebooks, so people can't step up their game.

  • Management thinks that adding a congrats bot will solve the problem of not being rewarded for great work.

Advice to Management

No advice. No one listens to feedback anyway.
