Pros

- Free lunch - Modern offices - Satisfying Salary - Homeoffice for those who prefer it

Cons

Behind closed doors, Bitpanda is that toxic employer you never wish you had. What started out as one of the most exciting startups to work for turned into one of the most unpleasant experiences for many. Unfortunately, this is mainly due to poor top management, which contributes to half-baked goals and ill-constructed plans that only become visible during bear markets. Main problematic areas: - Incompetent and unexperienced upper management - Toxic environment due to unqualified upper management - Ongoing changes in structure and goals - No clear roadmaps - No transparency - Last-minute changes - Loads of micromanagement

Hi former Panda, We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed our modern offices (along with their amenities), our Hybrid Working Model and that you also felt well rewarded. However, we’re saddened to hear that there have also been aspects of working here that you haven’t found optimal. At Bitpanda, speaking up and talking straight is a huge part of our DNA. We always want to hear the good, the bad and everything in between from our Pandas so that we can continue to make this the optimal place to work and encourage growth in all our folks. We regularly conduct completely anonymous Employee Voice Surveys to accomplish these aims and also encourage everyone in our den to reach out to us at peopleteam@bitpanda.com to receive further confidential support. Because the sector we operate in is always rapidly changing, we also have to move at a very fast pace. And as we operate on the idea of “launch fast and iterate”, it’s never meant to be perfect. Instead, we aim to learn together from our experiences and keep building — better — together. As you know, the current market situation has made us reevaluate our strategy. This has led us to shift our focus to getting back to the basics, prioritising safety and compliance, user experience, education and community while deprioritising everything else. We will continue to work closely with our Pandas to ensure that all roadmaps are shared and that everyone here understands how they can keep making an impact. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, and we wish you all the best in your next adventures!
