Great salary or package with no extra benefits.
No clear boundaries and role definition for engineering and product departments.
Projects are mostly driven by Product Owners, with very little say from engineers.
Micro-management by Product Owners, which is justified as POs are concerned about product delivery. (This is a serious problem, as micro-management is not considered worth solving and is instead justified by stating POs are more concerned, indirectly implying engineers are not and showing a lack of trust between the two groups).
No clear career progression framework; employees are simply promoted based on project delivery (without validating the quality of the delivered product) and with no proper 360-degree feedback compilation.
Revolut has some young, talented people in prominent positions who consider their way of working as the only correct way and do not even bother to understand other perspectives and concerns with the approach followed.
Create, communicate, and maintain clear boundaries between the engineering and product departments. It’s not the engineers’ job to teach product how to work with engineers or how not to micromanage; this should be known by default or come from upper management.
