Pros

- there are some really nice people working here - there's an increase in some areas in terms of people joining with actual expertise rather than a bunch of interns/graduates

Cons

- unprofessional, inexperienced founders who think they know everything and can't delegate responsibilities, absolute control freaks with an arrogant attitude and lack of values who think they know everything better but in reality they don't - bad politics: caused by a lot of big male egos - so many issues in operations, CS, AML because short term growth is prioritised at all cost - the office is a construction site, but it's fine because founders have a nice big office with ac

Thank you very much for your feedback, this year we did move into a new hq in Berlin and this transition period has now settled. We're building something great and want all employees to know that employee experience at N26 is a number one priority.

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
