Worst company I've worked for - Anonymous employee N26 Employee Review

N26 comes with the classic startup speech and "benefits": opportunity for growth, open space, no hierarchy and plenty of snacks and drinks. Understand corrupted processes, nepotism, strongly rooted unspoken hierarchy and political games. Career growth is for the ones who are friends with the "good people", rewards for performance and achievements are widely ignored, and so will you be if you dare reaching out to your manager when company-wide raise round time comes (in September). You'd get 10 appointments for your anmeldung before having a chance to talk about your performance with your manager, simply because processes are a facade to shut employees up when real things only happen behind the curtain. Pace is way too fast and colleagues are exhausted, working way too hard because C-level expects us all to work 200% everyday. As the CEO puts it in a Q&A streamed throughout all offices "it is not a company for lazy people, we [the two founders] work very hard every week to achieve our goals and we think everyone at N26 should work just as hard", shameless when facing employees paid on average 30% below the market (30K for analysts, roughly 38K for some Team Lead positions). Everyone is jumping off the boat, as company is doomed by greedy, unconcerned and disconnected management.
