Hi there. Thanks for leaving us a review. We’re glad you’re enjoying our perks and benefits, and the fantastic colleagues we have working all over the globe. As we introduced more flexible working arrangements and extra vacation entitlement this year, we hope you’ve been able to take advantage of these.
Last year we also introduced a bi-annual promotion cycle, which allows you to take ownership of your development in a clear, structured way. Through the creation of a personal development plan, and by seeking feedback from your stakeholders in the business, you have a structured way in which to grow your career. This process is designed to be transparent and allow for clarity on how decisions are made.
If ever you’d like to share additional feedback, or simply chat, feel free to reach out to a member of the People team. We also encourage you to share your opinions and experiences in our quarterly Employee Engagement Survey. Thanks again!
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
