Pros

Relocation bonus, visa assistant, international environment and new office. Recently they gave us a raise but it's too late since most team members who were actually doing work and care about delivery quality had all left.

Cons

Leadership in HR are extremely under qualified, which leads to insecurities and rewarding/hiring only those who make them look good. Looking good is really the only thing that matters, you can get away with a lot by complimenting management in public settings and patting each other on the back for projects that are designed only to make management look good (no practical value added). Most of the competent and driven people had left the team in the beginning of this year because they were underpaid and overworked, replaced by agency recruiters who care only about commission and not at all the quality of their hires (which I can imagine will have a very negative effect down the line across company). I cannot recommend you to join this company. Only do so if you must, it's not a happy environment.

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
