      Pros

      Many smart employees. Many decent mid-level managers too. They did just increase the vacation allowance. BVG pass. Urban Sports Club. Office dogs. Usual startup perks.

      Cons

      So many problems with this company would be solved if they were to hire an experienced CEO with successful history of leading a large company. The micro-management is through the scale. They are also deluded enough to believe that their product is still the best in the market despite no recent innovation and no plans to introduce that in 2020... Most people are wondering what N26 investors must be thinking.

      Hi. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. It’s nice to hear you’re enjoying your perks and benefits, our great coworkers, and the office doggos. This year we have fully redesigned our mobile experience, and will be rolling out more exciting product updates in the coming months. It’s true that transforming a heavily regulated industry - one which is long overdue for disruption - isn’t something that will happen overnight. But with passionate people from all over the globe who share our vision of building a bank the world loves to use, we know we’re on the right track to doing so. We’re all ears if you have any suggestions on how we can continue to make N26 a great place to work. Please get in touch with the People team or share your ideas in our employee engagement survey. Thank you.

      Hi. Thanks for leaving us a review. We’re glad you’re enjoying our perks and benefits, along with the Friday Celebrations (the potato pizza is our favorite). We would like to better understand your concerns, so that we can address them appropriately. Please get in touch with the People team if you are open to having a discussion and sharing your feedback with us. We also encourage all employees to voice their feedback or concerns in our quarterly employee engagement survey, or during the monthly Founder Q&A. Multiple channels are built into Slack, and our company intranet, to help facilitate a dialogue. We look forward to hearing from you.

      Pros

      Free beer and nice colleagues. You'll need both after a day's work.

      Cons

      Low salaries No transparency No real opportunities Disorganization Horrible hours and plannings Nothing works You're not being listened to because you're a meager CS employee They'll dazzle you with promises of promotions and opportunities but none of these will be based on actual performances. If you're a good performing employee but you open your mouth too much, you'll never get anywhere. Be quiet, do the minimum and make friends. Management will pretend to support you and your career but stab you in the back because no one actually cares about your "personal development" "Coaching" sessions are presented as a tool to help you improve but it's just monitoring. Good performance leads nowhere, but average performance will get you fired. Management doesn't care about employee wellbeing. Basic working conditions requirements such as ergonomic chairs that don't break your back, or having a few screen breaks to rest your eyes are not met. You will not have a good sleeping cycle ever again because the people making your schedule think a 8 days in a row work week is perfectly normal, and that you don't really need more than one day off to rest. You can get german classes, but you'll never actually be able to go to them because of your irregular schedule. You can get sport classes, but you'll never actually be able to go to them because of your irregular schedule. You'll eat lunch at your desk because there is no break room (promised for 5 months), employees are never a priority. If they don't fire you first, you'll probably just break down and quit at some point. Hopefully you have the means to quit.

      Hi there. Appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. We take this feedback seriously and would like to respond to your concerns. Our philosophy on compensation and benefits is driven to provide fair reward for every role at N26. To ensure this, we work closely with salary experts, and the local market here in Berlin, to ensure that we are fully competitive in how we pay our employees. Communication is key, and everyone at N26 has the opportunity to have their voices heard. This can be done through a one-to-one chat with your manager, sharing constructive feedback and ideas in the quarterly Employee Engagement Survey, a direct chat with a member of our People team, or submitting a question for our founders at the Monday All Hands meeting. You can also contact our external Speak Up hotline, where any concerns raised are handled with full confidentiality in a secure and anonymous way. Offering our team members opportunities for growth and development is something which is extremely important to us. Our bi-annual promotion cycle, which was introduced last year, is designed to allow our people to take ownership of their development in a structured and transparent way. This approach involves creating a development plan and seeking feedback from your stakeholders. The feedback allows for transparency in how decisions are made, and is intended to help you grow and develop in a way that fits your career path. We have also recently reintroduced our program guidelines for internal job opportunities - another avenue for development within the company. You can check these out on our intranet. While we’re happy to address your concerns here, we would also welcome a conversation with you to better understand the areas we can continue to improve. Please get in touch with the Employee Experience team if you are open to chatting. Thanks again.
