Pros

-All tech and engineering department is just great, most of the colleagues are welcoming and charming. - Even being a bank the technology is cutting edge, from k8s to hashicorp's stack going through AWS and microservices. - Perks and benefits for being EU are really good (even there's room for improvement), salaries are medium-high, private insurance, company benefits, among others.

Cons

- Sometimes management does not seem to be up to the challenges - Even if a neobank, bureaucracy is on top of the order and I am not talking about BaFin, here you will find bureaucracy on top of bureaucracy so make up your mind some changes (even though they are simple) or making an impact might take some wee while. - Personally I do not see it as a company for aiming to work on the long run (>3 years) - Product vision is almost null, it is a real struggle to see there is no real

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
