A culture that encourages brown-nosing Line and Functional Managers

Pros

1. Globally recognised brand, leader in the neobank space 2. Great benefits, especially when it comes to leave days 3. Flexible work arrangements

Cons

1. If you offend your line/functional managers, you could suffer and receive an unfair grading during the quarterly performance review. This is made worse as there is no appeal process for you to defend your work. Since only line managers' and functional managers' gradings matter, this only encourages everyone to play nice and be "supportive" of their managers' every decision or pander to their egos. 2. Lack of autonomy at country-level means everything from budgets to hiring are dependent upon the graces of the global teams. Country CEOs are powerless and this in turn makes them afraid to speak up against decisions that don't make sense. 3. No accountability when it comes to certain individuals in the organisation, especially those close to the senior management. Everyone's KPIs and performances are monitored closely - to the point of micro-managing people's work and strategies. But nothing is said about their inability to meet their KPIs. 4. Focus on quarterly KPIs means that a lot of people - even the most brilliant ones - develop tunnel vision after spending some time at Revolut. So focused on quarterly KPIs that any plans or ideas that require longer time to yield results will be shot down.

Hi, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that you are dissatisfied with your experience at Revolut. We believe that our success at Revolut comes from our people and our culture. We are truthful about each other’s performance. The bar is very high, and we evaluate people carefully and deliver honest feedback respectfully, in a non-personal way and provide guidance on what needs to be done to get promoted next time. We believe that clear KPIs help ensure that we all understand our goals and how we'll get there but we know that they aren't the only indicator of your contribution, and these additional factors are a part of our performance reviews. We admire people who live our values and support their colleagues in getting stuff done. We aim to ensure that all performance reviews fairly reflect progress and are very open in discussing them with employees. We wish you all the best, Ryan Jun Hyung Park People Partner Singapore

Pros

- No office politics or games, we know that if we do engage it those - it will hinder us and deprive us of opportunities moving forward. - Everyone is accountable and takes ownership of their actions - People are inclusive and diverse, and accepting of one another. - Beyond work, we can be quite a fun group of people. We still get things done man. - Fundamentally, we are all a team player. Though we might be strong or smart individually, we are all respectful of one another. - We encourage everyone to grow and develop as a professional in their own career. Having the space to struggle, and make honest mistakes, and learning from it is part of the process we recognised.

Cons

- Things can be ambiguous, given the startup nature. But this can provide a learning opportunity for you to take on different things, and solve various problems.

Thanks for your review! We appreciate your taking the time to let us know how we're doing. We know that hyperscaling sometimes comes with a bit of chaos, but the people who can roll with the punches are the ones that will help us achieve our vision. We still want to keep the startup hunger, though we recognise that we're taking on more responsibilities. It's all about the Day One mentality! As our biggest resource for innovation and fresh ideas, we'll keep listening to our people. Let's get it done!
