Pros

For a customer service role, the job is really relaxed and stress free with very little difficult or abusive clients. This is a big plus. The job itself is simple to learn and not much responsibility is placed on CS. Which is really what you want when you look for a CS role. The discounted transport monthly card is a fantastic benefit as is the Gym offer. The German Classes are not realistic to people on rotating schedules.

Cons

The company is reactive in the worst sense. It still feels very much like a start-up but has grown very fast. Feedback and suggestions on improvement go nowhere and every problem appears to be dealt with only when there is negative press around it. There is a lot of saying one thing and doing another. What attracted me to this role were the shifts, the German classes, and that it was primarily chat support not phone support. Since starting everything is changing for the worst: the shifts are going to be changed so we have to work till midnight and Sundays (non-negotiable), the support is moving towards phone, and the German classes are realistically only suited to employees with stable shifts i.e. NOT Customer Service. Everyone is afraid to give negative feedback because everyone is on probation for 6 months then fixed term contracts.

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
