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

Good enough salary, above minimum wage. Modern IT environment. Some good extra perks like free food and some parties. A lot of colleagues from many different countries. A sport club with running and cycling activities. The office is conveniently located.

Cons

Very toxic environment. No voice to employees and those who raise their voice (or try to suggest something different) have been fired. Customer service organization is chaotic and in need of restructuring. Promotions in CS are handled almost randomly: sometimes the ones with better stats and results have to wait months if not years to move up the ladder, while some "lucky ones " get promoted in a couple of months for no reason. The majority of the TLs is just trying to create teams with people they can easily manage. They will support you as long as it is convenient for them and their own career. No support and poor management of autistic spectrum employees.

Hi. Appreciate you sharing your experience with us. We love that we have the opportunity to work with colleagues from over 80 nationalities, as this almost always leads to lots of interesting new connections, conversations and perspectives. It’s also great to hear that you enjoyed our perks and benefits, and got to experience some of the epic N26 parties in pre-COVID times. As a growing organization, we realize there are opportunities for improvement, so your constructive feedback is much appreciated. We run a structured promotion cycle twice per year, which is designed to be fully transparent in how promotion decisions are made. When an employee feels they have built up the necessary skills and are ready to develop into the next level, we use the feedback from their stakeholders in the business to determine their promotion readiness. As of our most recent promotion cycle, in September 2020, we celebrated the promotions of 154 employees, which was a great testament to the achievements and personal development of our employees across N26. We’re really glad you were a part of the N26 journey, and contributed to getting us to where we are today. Thanks again for your feedback.

Thanks for your feedback. Members of our leadership team are selected for their roles based on their expertise in their respective areas. We follow a structured selection process for all candidates, and our Recruitment team is passionately committed to hiring the best talent. Like every company, there is always a level of attrition that sees people move on to other opportunities. We look to counteract this with new programs and initiatives to support our employees as we grow, as well as closely monitoring and taking action on your feedback from our engagement survey, as well as here on Glassdoor. We will also introduce a formal succession planning process, to ensure smooth senior leadership transitions, should they occur. This will enable leaders to focus on developing employees to fill the responsibilities of these key roles. If you’d like to keep the conversation going, please get in touch with the Employee Experience partner for your department.
