Pros

Good salary and working conditions and a name that looks good on the CV. Possibility to work with clever people.

Cons

Big disconnection between Berlin and Barcelona, resulting in chaos and everyone stepping onto each other. There seems to be a lot of hunger for visibility and recognition within the teams, rather than for collaboration and creating efficiencies, and the lack of clarity and limits from the management just reinforces that. A good salary and benefits don't compensate the lack of humanity, transparency and collaboration are inexistent. Toxic dynamics, it's a rat race.

These will be aligned and presented to the whole company. This is a great opportunity to have your voice heard, and play an active part in shaping our culture. It’s clear that you have ideas for how we can improve, and we’d love to hear these and work together with you on this. As always, your People team is available for support and an open dialogue.

- The design leader has a clear vision which forms a mature design culture in this company. - The atmosphere is inclusive regardless of your background, gender, and age. - People who work here are highly talented and passionate about what they do. - The company has been rapidly growing and it always creates challenges that motivate you to tackle and learn from the experience. - Simply the product is nice and widely adopted across Europe. - Flexible work hours and remote working

Cons

- If you want stability, it's not the place. The company has gone through lot of changes and organisational structure, as well as ways of working haven't been settled. Depends on how you handle unexpected changes, it can cause lot of stress. - The salary and promotion process is not transparent. - The hiring team is not good at setting the right expectation on your role and responsibilities. - Company is not doing great at retaining talents.

Pros

The company is investing a lot to attract talent in terms of marketing and creating big expectations, so it will look good on the CV. Possibility to get visibility out of the company: meetups, conferences, etc. After 6 months you have personal budget for development. Good salary y good offices. As per the 1st point, very talented people colleagues.

Cons

All management is based in Berlin with few visits in Barcelona. Roles and processes are not clearly defined, specially in terms of responsibilities and limitations. A huge percentage of people has left within a few months, most of them still in probation period. Low respect to personal life, you will be asked to leave your personal plans aside if a company activity is planned during weekend, and some events are planned out of working hours, so if you have other responsabilities outside work you might be seen as not committed enough. Also, there is no company policy for travel during weekends and other similars, it will all depend on your manager's kindness. Very far from getting a "Best place to work" recognition, which seems to be a contradiction with the image of modern/open-minded bank. A lot of young people with a lot of hunger for recognition, visibility and status, creating dynamics that are very far from transparency and collaborative culture. Overall, the working culture and environment in Barcelona is very far from the one in Berlin, which seems more considered and respectful.

Hi there. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. It is clear that you have had some direct concerns and frustrations in your work environment, and we would like to be able to understand these better and address them directly with you. It would be great if you would reach out to the Organizational Development Partner for your department, or join one of our weekly employee experience walk-in sessions, so that we can understand your specific situation. We do have clear roles, responsibilities and processes established across the business. If this has not been your experience, then we would like to review this with you to ensure you have the clarity you need, and to mitigate any ambiguity on role expectations. We also have a strong commitment to support our people with balanced work, which is why we have introduced more flexible working arrangements, and increased vacation entitlement. As it sounds like you are still experiencing roadblocks in achieving your desired work-life balance, we would love to help you through this, and understand where you need us to focus our efforts. We’re looking forward to continuing this conversation with you. If you have any doubts or are unsure of your best contact point, any member of our People team will be able to connect you with the right person. Thanks again for your feedback.
