Pros

The product stands out as exceptional and easily accessible. Within the team, there are competent individuals among both direct team members and stakeholders, fostering opportunities to build connections beyond the confines of professional relationships.

Cons

The workforce planning was erratic, with frequent shifts in outlook, leading to an environment of perpetual uncertainty. Transparency was not just lacking but replaced by a disconcerting pattern of deceit, eroding trust within the team. A particularly disheartening episode was the handling of mass layoffs, with the Talent Acquisition team facing layoffs three times within 18 months. Dubious reasons coerced team members into signing mutual termination agreements, only for the company to later claim imminent profitability. TA team's work culture is tainted by favoritism, where climbing the career ladder is more about being a 'yes-person' than actual competence. Those willing to act as unquestioning puppets are favored, irrespective of their contributions. For those seeking a workplace that values genuine effort and encourages career growth based on merit, please think twice. The constant threat of layoffs and a culture of fear make professional development secondary to survival.

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
