Work from home Flexible hours Ok salary

Cons

Poor management. You will be thrown from project to project to fulfill nonsensical KPIs.

Chaos and extremely high employee turnover. In the 1.5 years I worked there, I had 6 different line managers.

Low job security. You may get kicked out every quarter because your line manager simply doesn’t like you or doesn’t manage people properly.

Low-technical tasks and a lot of bureaucracy. The vast majority of engineers work on boring, copy-paste based tasks 99% of their time. Code review takes a ridiculous amount of time, so be prepared to stay blocked for several days.

A lot of internal solutions not used outside. The experience you get at Revolut when working with their internal frameworks might be difficult to sell externally.

No transparency, hidden “game rules,” and PIP culture. The performance committee may place you on a PIP because of things you never know. Some people were PIPed because they just worked normally.
