- Extremely top down culture. It's impossible to drive any initiatives or suggest changes that are outside of management "selected projects". No discussion is welcomed
- The projects are selected on the basis "the boss likes it" rather the real needs of the company or customer. Nobody checks if the selected project is actually the best way to achieve company goals/ customer satisfaction. No one cares about prioritisation and data analysis.
- Working in N26 is like "Game of Thrones", it's not about what you can do or your professionalism but about who you know and who you are friends with
- Company is still growing, there is so much to be fixed and done. Yet there are teams of people that have nothing to do at all for months. That's caused by very "top down", structured, micromanagement, and very hierarchical management structure .
- A lot of management is selected based on a "friends with higher management/founders" bases rather than competency
- There is no correlation between projects each department is set to do and what is company is trying to achieve
- The core of the business is a mess. There is so little attention to the customer security and privacy, it's incredible!
Yeah, I had the worst experience ever with N26. For a company of this size and this stage of development I would expect more strategic vision from the top that is communicated and executed. As well as more enabled people of all levels to contribute to the company growth.
Actually, a lot of people in N26 are like me, passionate about the product but limited to do anything beneficial to the customer
