Pros

Used to be cool in 2018-2019! Young and smart people

Cons

Toxic environment! No increase for more than a year! So much stress during the hypergrowth that was like hell. They put people on kurzarbeit and then 29 days lates they extend the funding round with 60 Million. They never had an issue to keep that people they just wanted to use the program just not to pay them. Also they used that to get rid of some people. Many people left because of that. Another many reason that people leave is because of salary. If you joined more than 2 years ago you still be in a low salary. When you ask for an increase they give you excuse and they tell you you are in the correct range. But you do not know the range of your position. They put many people on PIP in order not to increase their salary. Everyone calls it now the titanic of Berlin. Everyone is making fun of by saying everyone is jumping the N26 ship. People that they are great on what they are doing they just go to another company and they get much more money. The only people that stay are the ones that are friends with the management and the ones that are not really capable to do anything. 7 million customers but maybe half of them are not even identified. They just sign up with the email and they never complete the process to receive their card. Revolut and vivid are ahead now. No more innovation or new products coming in the future. They made such a big deal when they released dark mode that was a big feature 😂

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
