Revolut

Growth opportunities: Revolut is a company based on numbers, more than human factors. So if you do your job well and stay within the KPI, you can easily progress within your department or by moving to other departments.

Good salary: Portugal is becoming more and more expensive. For now, this is the best salary I could find for this type of job, and the compensation package is quite good.

Clear expectations: Being Revolut based on numbers, you know what to expect and what the requests are.

Communication: The interaction, both horizontal and vertical, is very open. Feedback is always appreciated and has an important impact on many aspects of the job.

Remote: This is a very important point. It is remote, with the possibility to ask to work from the office in Porto or Lisbon.

Community: There are a lot of chat rooms in the internal chat app with tons of topics to interact with people all over the Revolut sites (dogs, games...).

Independence: This is maybe personal experience only, but I feel like this company lets you work the best you can. As long as you keep your targets, you are fine. You can manage yourself within the KPIs and the targets.

Values are very important and down-to-earth: They are not just mere words; values here are applied daily and help you also evaluate yourself. This is a great way to guide your life in the company.

Empathy: Revolut is based on numbers. Don't expect a lot of empathy. What I mean is that if KPIs are not satisfactory, there is no way to negotiate the outcome. They will offer some PIP or worse.

This is both an advantage and a disadvantage: if you are a people person, maybe you may feel alone most of the time. It's you and your job, with sporadic meetings (at lower levels) and interactions with your peers.

• KPIs have to be adapted to the vertical. There are enormous differences in terms of quantity of work between verticals, and some KPIs are not customized. This causes KPIs to be very difficult to reach for some, and easier for others. Happy to discuss it further.

• Salary should be adapted to inflation, with Lisbon and Porto being more and more expensive.

• Less machine-oriented and more people-oriented approach: you can't rely only on numbers, and the KPIs are calculated too mathematically, but that is not the best way to approach this topic, in my opinion. KPIs have to be reachable. Making them harder quarter by quarter without adapting them to the vertical is not a logical approach, and it causes stress and anxiety.
