      Love it, but a bit in a drama episode

      Pros

      The people are amazing, the company organizes a lot of great stuff, the work is cool, great opportunities. I really don't want to leave, it's the best company in Berlin when you can shut yourself off from the gossip and drama.

      Cons

      We are in a serious drama phase of the company. The works council stuff was visible externally, and internally everyone talks about the CEO loosing it. In all fairness, he is doing and saying some weird stuff but that is probably just stress.

      Pros

      - strong focus on performance: from what I've seen, promotions were strongly related to performance within the respective job. Other factors (e.g. politics, business need, relationship to superior etc.) can't fully be excluded in promotion decisions but seem to be less relevant than in other companies I've worked for - lots of responsibility early on: since N26 is still a relatively "small" tech company (at least when compared to the big American tech firms) the contribution of individual employees weighs more and directly affect the success of the business. - steep learning curve: there are plenty of options to find a niche to specialize in. Due to the volatile environment and often changing priorities, I always feel challenged to adapt to the new "normal" and constantly need to acquaint myself with new topics. - Employee stock option program: starting at a certain level, employees receive virtual options that will be cashed in when N26 goes public. This is particularly relevant to employees who believe in the future success of the company. - great coworkers: Overall, I've met smart and very pleasant coworkers, the majority of whom are driven and deliver good work - perks: the obvious fruit baskets, free drinks, candy, monthly meals, subsidies for sports and public transport, personal development budget (for job-related online classes, languages courses etc.) and more - career boost: without doubt, N26 is a boost for the CV. Looking at the alumni list, it's impressive to see where employees move on to after a couple years at N26. Including several ex-N26er starting their own businesses.

      Cons

      - base salary/compensation: overall, acceptable (due to nice perks) but not above average. It is fine for the the Berlin market as cost of living is relatively low,. However, with increasing rent levels, adjusting salary might become necessary in the medium run. Bigger tech firms pay better but offer fewer growth opportunities/responsibility. N26 is not the best place to work for people who look to maximize short term financial gains. - not fully established internal processes: following the hyper growth phase in 2019, there are several places with lacking structures internally, leading to unclear communication paths and responsibilities. Even though this seems to be getting better over time, there is still plenty of work to be done - work-life balance: Many employees do not work typical 9-5 jobs and overtime is not being compensated financially. Even though it is rather typical for start ups/scale ups of this size in Berlin, this is not ideal. Remote options that were implemented recently due to Covid-19 helped in that regard
