Pros

- Strong relationship with my manager, marked by open communication and effective feedback. - Great team fit and dynamics. - Opportunities to grow within my role, though these efforts are not recognized in terms of compensation)=. Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for the chance to learn and build my resume, but when those efforts aren't backed by fair compensation, it starts to feel like I'm being treated as a cheap, expendable workforce rather than a valued contributor.

Cons

- Unfair reward structure: I've been performing at a higher level for over 1.5 years, but my last salary increase was only 2%. This is below inflation and has resulted in zero engagement with the company. - Executive leadership's decision to mandate a return to the office was made hastily, with no consideration for employees' personal lives or plans. Despite vocal feedback from employees about the drawbacks of this decision, leadership has shown little regard for their concerns. The CEO’s approach to this situation has been erratic and immature, which has only added to the frustration.

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
