N26 has money to burn, but my year there was a baffling series of changing priorities and empty assurances. - Customer Service Specialist N26 Employee Review

Pros

(At the time) competitive pay and benefits for a entry-level CS position. A fast-growing company where, for better and worse, things change fast. I still use the prodcut to this day, despite the chip on my shoulder.

Cons

There were madenning layers of obfuscation between the day-to-day job and the goals of management. A depressing lack of information was shared with CS staff, which made it impossible to be a genuinely enthusiastic ambassador for the product. An unfortunate reality of being a CS specialist is that your job often isn't to solve the customer's problem, but to sandbag the customer until they either give up or the issue solves itself. The most serious and most frequent issues were often to do with each supported country's own unique banking laws, and the many legal grey areas e-banking start-ups base their business on. I could have written these problems off as the price of working at a company breaking new ground, but at no point was customer support given reason to have faith in management's vision for the company, because it was never shared with us.

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
