Pros

If you are looking for a temporary position just to settle a bit while you wait for a real job somewhere else it's perfect

Cons

This company is everything which is wrong with Berlin, they just take advantages that expat need to find anything in order to survive. So there is no consideration and it's really funny seeing from an outsider point of view. The team lead doesn't know what they are doing and you can't give feedback, they pressure people when they hire to give them junior contract so they gem paid even less than the penny that they usually give. People are rushing in the kitchen when it's the free meal day with people on the verge of fighting it tells a lot about the pay.. There is people in management you have no idea what they are doing all day and they poorly hide the fact that they are paid to do nothing all day. The way they manage shift is riduculous you really feel like you work in a sweat-shop there and they advertise about their work/life balance when you going to finish some weeks work at midnight.. They open call center in even cheaper place than Berlin while firing people who been in the company for a certain period of time and know what they are doing. People get promoted only because they are friends with the right person. They just hire expat for 6 months and then fire them within the probation period and they fire employee in 20 min, the way they treat people is inhumane. CS department is poorly managed and employee and customer are suffering from that, we are dealing with people money let's remember. They really good at marketing themselves as a cutting edge /design company when the CS office is litteraly a bulding under construction with everything falling apart, you can't hide yourself behind hyper growth you a proper company now get it together.

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
