Pros

Truth be told, just above average salaries, nice people you meet and a logo to put on your resume if you're a brand collector.

Cons

The WORST environment I've ever worked in. To start with, this organization lacks direction, purpose, and meaning. If you're considering joining it, just bear in mind that FAVORITISM REIGNS, there is also a lack of character, and it is an extremely toxic place. Additionally, leadership is nonexistent, decisions are made based on the opinions of hippos (highest paid person's opinion) and with no solid basis. Teams are formed and disbanded with no clear purpose. Initiatives are created, developed, and then die for no reason. Middle managers are clearly blind, INEXPERIENCED and lacking a sense of what they're doing, making their team anxious, not providing guidance, and only thinking about pleasing their bosses. They treat you like a number, firing people for no valid reason, with no severance and feeding you all sorts of LIES about it. People being laid off as the company fails to have a strategy, plan and understand their financial situation. Still excited?! Welcome to N26

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
