Revolut

Hiring quality verdict.

Revolut doubled headcount to 18,271 employees in two years while posting £4.5B revenue and £1.3B net profit in FY2025 — a rare combination that positions it as the fastest-scaling profitable fintech employer in Europe. The UK banking licence, granted March 2026, unlocks consumer credit products and FSCS deposit protection, removing the single biggest recruiter objection when competing with incumbents for established-market talent. Engineering compensation is London-market competitive at £95K–£160K for senior engineers, plus pre-IPO options tied to a $75B secondary valuation that makes Revolut the eighth most valuable private company globally.
