Pros

Many smart employees. Many decent mid-level managers too. They did just increase the vacation allowance. BVG pass. Urban Sports Club. Office dogs. Usual startup perks.

Cons

So many problems with this company would be solved if they were to hire an experienced CEO with successful history of leading a large company. The micro-management is through the scale. They are also deluded enough to believe that their product is still the best in the market despite no recent innovation and no plans to introduce that in 2020... Most people are wondering what N26 investors must be thinking.

Hi. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. It’s nice to hear you’re enjoying your perks and benefits, our great coworkers, and the office doggos. This year we have fully redesigned our mobile experience, and will be rolling out more exciting product updates in the coming months. It’s true that transforming a heavily regulated industry - one which is long overdue for disruption - isn’t something that will happen overnight. But with passionate people from all over the globe who share our vision of building a bank the world loves to use, we know we’re on the right track to doing so. We’re all ears if you have any suggestions on how we can continue to make N26 a great place to work. Please get in touch with the People team or share your ideas in our employee engagement survey. Thank you.

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
