Pros

Beer in fridge and coffee machine.

Cons

This company is built on layers of yes men on top of one another. Good and intelligent people get fired every other day and disappear because they are not yes men. EM in payments has a bunch of cronie followers and they are her hench men. You get fired if you irritate them or put a suggestion on their PR. Include couple of yes men in another teams you got full control over everything. You want to survive here, the thing to follow is say yes to everything they say, praise them for their intelligence. Say they are the best. Sometimes they get snarky and irritated, may be you touched his headphones accidentally may be you did not like his comment on slack. Apologize then and there. Else the next feedback session you might be fired or get a strong negative review. Some people are just plain racist. Just on your face. You say that you are offended, you get fired . You have no team spirit.

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
