Pros

Mostly nice colleagues snacks in the office not much else

Cons

This has been the experience for the last 20 months and I don't see any positive change: Very bad politics Below market salary Upper management don’t care about employees or retention rates. Lack of recognition of good work. Lots of chaos due to lack of transparency, decision making and high attrition rates. Lots of disappointment and difficult to grow ones career internally. Promotions without getting a raise. Lots of pressure to be compliant but very little support to make it feasible Budget constraints and limited resources. Unachievable deadlines Under qualified management with very little experience Constant process changes which makes everything complicated and take extra long - very difficult to get stuff done People team is there to support the founders, not to make employee experience good

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
