- There are not many benefits anymore. They removed or reduced all of them: no more office dogs, Urban Sport Clubs and commute subscriptions became much more expensive, no more team offsites, no more pizza on Fridays. They say it’s due to the COVID-19, but I do not believe to see those benefits coming back, as they were looking to remove them for a long time.
- The company is still not profitable, and it shows: they are firing complete teams and are sending a huge amount of employees to Kurzarbeit. Most of the employees are not getting renewed during this time. It literally feels like the company is sinking!
- The Compliance department, despite being one of the most underpaid departments within the company, has not been hiring for months. Their backlog is so huge that cases are pending for WEEKS. People are leaving like crazy due to a lack of proper management, process, and due to tools that are not adapted to their work. Their backlogs keep growing which makes this bank “The Bank Fraudsters Love To Use”. — “It’s in progress”, management says. But they do not have any plans. They seem to have forgotten their last BaFin order, which was asking them to urgently solve the backlog in IT monitoring. It is incredible they still have a banking licence.
- I have seen every type of misbehavior working there: managers promoting each-others, harassing their team members, sexual misconducts, and violence. HR is much aware of those cases by having dozens of reports on their table, but no actions are being taken. It took them 5 weeks to offboard a violent manager, and that happened once people started to make noises about an eventual police and press complaint.
- Employees have been requested to not publicly give bad comments which could connect to N26, as this would put the bank’s reputation at risk. Why don’t they try to fix what’s wrong instead of asking people to not communicate about it? The Engagement Surveys got so bad that they stopped presenting the results.
