Pros

Great team spirit, working with people who are smart and truly passionate about what they do.

Cons

Very top-down approach, which would be great if leaders had a clue about where to go and what to do.

Appreciate your feedback here, and can only echo your sentiment on working with a team of smart and passionate people. We really love showing up everyday to work with such great minds. We also recognize that there are opportunities for improvement, and your constructive feedback is equally as important. We would like to respond to this below. In addressing your concerns around reorganizing and restructuring, it’s important to point out that this type of change is not uncommon for a dynamic, fast-growing organization like N26. That said, we understand that it can be difficult to constantly adapt to this type of change. Our executive leadership team has taken this feedback on-board, and are committed to paying extra attention and care when it comes to our approach and communications around any structural team changes. We also see opportunities in establishing global employee representation to address these concerns and provide input in the discussions and decisions. As we mentioned, N26 is made up of the world’s best minds, from a diverse range of backgrounds, ethnicities, and experiences. With over 80 nationalities in our workforce, and a presence in 25 global markets, diversity and inclusion is a central part of what makes us N26. We see diversity as a source of strength, allowing us to draw on a wealth of creativity, perspectives and experiences that help us deliver the most relevant and inclusive product to customers globally. We have three dedicated internal task forces focused specifically on driving diversity, equal opportunities and inclusion within the business. Thanks for speaking up and sharing your perspective on where we need to focus our efforts, in order to take N26 to the next level.

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
