Pros

- plentiful of terrific folks at all levels <3 - well though out all-round on-boarding experience - lots of opportunities, though you are expected to fight for them relentlessly - globally ground-braking product - usual startup perks: drinks, snacks, etc.

Cons

- corporate promotion system that doesn't apply to everyone - top-down management culture - archaic attendance model: no home-office and crappy vacation time - unattractive and unfinished new office in West Berlin - compensation growth falls short of market trends but more importantly it doesn't take into account the insane amounts of regularly added workload - cronyism at management level, though this is likely an industry problem that n26 is just not immune to

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
