Revolut Shifts to Office Work for New Recruits

Revolut's New Office Requirement

Revolut, the London-based fintech giant, is making a significant shift in its hiring policy for 2027. New graduates and interns will now be required to work in the office at least three days a week, moving away from the previously flexible remote-first model that attracted many young professionals.

This change is aimed at enhancing in-person collaboration and mentoring, which Revolut believes is crucial for early career development. While this affects hundreds of new hires, the company reassures its existing 11,000 employees that the remote-first policy remains intact for them, allowing full-time remote work if desired.

  • Key points of the new policy include:
  • Mandatory in-office work for new recruits at least three days a week.
  • The policy applies only to the 2027 graduate and intern programs.
  • Existing employees retain the flexibility of remote work.
Revolut's decision reflects a broader trend in the corporate world as companies reassess the balance between remote work and in-person collaboration.
