Pros

great colleagues, smart and hard working people

Cons

No strategy, the CEO just implementing stuff that he wants to make the card look nice on the outside, no real improvement in the last 1.5 years. Information being handled in a deceptive way that makes me feel un-ethic. Great people leaving due to lack of strategy and innovation. Corporate rules for their advantage like promotions every year (0 hypergrowth), and startup benefits (poor salary, 0 bonus, 0 equity) CEO mentioning that we want to be the best bank, shortly afterwards he mentions that we need to have "market standard" benefits, then you will get an average product.

We’re sorry to hear of your impression! The last few months have been quite the whirlwind for N26 – we’ve celebrated reaching 3.5 million customers worldwide, launched in the USA and also revamped N26 Black to unveil N26 You. We also learned a lot this year in light of our accelerated growth and have undertaken a series of internal initiatives aimed at making N26 an even better place to work. These comments are valued and will help us continue to improve our employee and user experiences.

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
