Pros

- lived devOps attitude "You build it you run it!" - serving over 5 Million customers - whole infrastructure is running in the cloud - There are already more Kotlin microservices than Java - Event driven architecture - shift to functional programming paradigms in combination with kotlin arrow lib - more than 500 deployments to Production every week (fully automated CI/CD pipeline) - many mature colleagues to learn from - management team is trying hard to always improve work environment and stabilise after hyper-growth phase - microservice architecture - costumer centric by making experiments and iterating based on customer feedback, metrics and data - continuously trying to improve - personal development budget of 1500 € / year to spend on conferences or courses you have on your bucket list - Friday pizza celebration and Wednesday Brown bag lunch

Cons

- sometimes it is necessary to travel to other offices like Barcelona and Berlin - with 1500 employees communication is sometimes challenging, but the company is working on it to improve it

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
