Pros

A lot of talent and great people, nice company perks (fruits, coffee...), friendly environment, salary a bit above average. On the tech side they are really open, adopting latest tendencies and encouraging people to learn new things and share them in internal talks. There is a lot of room to learn if you look forward to.

Cons

Half of the expectations set when interviewing were not met (office was not kept in the city centre, a lot of legacy code, most of decisions still being taken completely in Berlin, impediments to WFH regularly...). From the organisational perspective, a lot of changes in the past months (groups/teams structure, ways of working, on call...) that give a significant sense of chaos (and not all of them can be justified by hyper-growth). Many people that were there from the beginning left because of it.

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
