Pros

Really smart and hardworking people, especially at lower levels.

Cons

- Intransparent and inconsistent decision making (decisions not evidence-based) - Money and image come before employees - Poor alignment among C-levels and among departments - C-level tends to say one thing and do another / do nothing - No clear company vision - Constantly changing high level and low level priorities - CEO is a micromanager, which particularly impedes the product team - Many C-levels selected because they're friends of the CEO, not based on merit or qualifications

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
