Such an amazing team (when I was there) with so much potential, squandered by top-down directives - Product Manager N26 Employee Review

Pros

(from the start of my time at N26) - Amazing team, some of the smartest and most motivated people I've ever worked with - Tons of opportunity for growth in your career - A strong brand

Cons

- Co-founders don't trust the seasoned executives they bring in to do what they are there to do - Lack of willingness to make hard decisions about priorities, or delegate decision making beyond the "inner circle" of top management that has been there from the start - That "inner circle" is completely out of touch with what it means to be one of their employees and have zero empathy for how their decisions impact the lives of their employees, or the product negatively - The only way to get something done is to play massive political games - Logic almost never wins out

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
