Pros

It used to be good colleagues around

Cons

The management is deeply incompetent and driven by internal politics rather than leadership or merit. Instead of promoting collaboration and healthy teamwork, they actively encourage competition and silos between teams, creating a toxic and counterproductive environment. Performance reviews, promotions, and salary increases are highly subjective and heavily biased toward favoritism, personal relationships, and visibility to management. Actual skills, contributions, and achievements carry little weight compared to office politics and networking with leadership.

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
