Pros

Nice team and a lot of people with different backgrounds ! Great flor for growing good and creative ideas with a nice spirit.

Cons

It's not about the development of the employees, but the development of the company. Employees are poorly paid. It is expected that it is all for the idea. 60 hours per week are no exception but the rule. Involved in the success ? ... not really. There are no special services next to the salary. If someone isn't working as expected or open his mind saying his opinion (which is agains the mainstream ) his time has expired. This is probably mostly to some executives, lacking in empathy and humanity. Leadership is clearly preferred by fear and domination. The result is a one-sided dependence, without that you notice it. Problems are sometimes not openly communicated - which cause to misunderstandings between all parties.

Hi There, Thank you for your review. We appreciate it. We also agree that everything we do should be about people. As an employer and service provider we are accountable to both our employees and customers - our most important relationship. One of the ways we want to improve in this area is by establishing a culture and engagement initiative where feedback from our employees will be taken on a regular basis to shape the company we are building. We are certain that this strategy which is in formation will help us grow and become not only a better company but a great place to work in Europe. Best, N26

Pros

Small team in NYC working on bringing N26 to the US. Flat team structure (no bureaucracy or painful hierarchies). Open lines of communication and instant feedback loops. Everyone is extremely smart and driven towards a common goal, and we also enjoy each other's company both in and out of the office. There's also respect for having a life outside of work and a good sense of balance. Huge opportunity to take on as much work as you can handle and drive your own workstreams and outputs. I've found that my scope of responsibilities is quite large, and since joining, I've broadened my skill-set significantly in areas I wanted to expand upon.

Cons

Coordination with Berlin can be difficult at times given time zones and hypergrowth there. Nonetheless, people always are willing to help out and make themselves available when needed. Small team size as of now means fewer hands to help with all that needs to get done. That said - plenty of opportunity for new joiners to take on key tasks and responsibilities as we continue to grow the team
