Pros

Amazing people to work with on day to day basis. Constant opportunities to learn and take on diverse tasks an challenges.

Cons

You are expected to work more hours for no compensation. Your hard work an achievements are rarely remembered but the failures are highlighted. This is an inevitable situation when the responsibilities are piled up on one person without management oversight or support. There is little loyalty, trust or support to gain from the leadership and the company culture has taken a shift. The benefits wont counter the effects of being constantly pushed to the limit with little or no recognition.

Hi. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review and share your experience of N26. We completely agree - and appreciate - that we have amazing colleagues working across the business. As we’ve grown quickly, there have been many opportunities for our people to develop into new areas and learn along the way. It’s great to hear that this has positively impacted your experience working here. Our employees are not expected to work excessive hours. For our Customer Operations, compensation for overtime is paid accordingly. This year we have introduced more flexible working arrangements and extra vacation entitlement to allow our staff to have more time to balance their work and their personal lives. Our bi-annual promotion cycle, which was introduced last year, is designed to allow our people to take ownership of their development in a structured and transparent way. This approach involves creating a development plan and seeking feedback from your stakeholders. The feedback allows for transparency in how decisions are made, and is intended to help you grow and a develop in a way that fits your career path. If you would like to share any additional feedback or suggestions on how we can ensure more recognition within your team, our employee engagement survey would be a great channel to voice your ideas. You can also get in touch with our People team at any time for a conversation.

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
