      Pros

      Free fruits and drinks every day, free lunch on Wednesday’s

      Cons

      The worst part is that during the interview process they make you believe that you will be working with high quality and standards, the truth couldn’t be further than that, priorities constantly changing, large unaligned teams constantly shifting around, unclear goals. The mindset is to push out to production fast and low quality code full of bugs, that then is constantly being patched. For such a young company there is already a lot of tech debt, never have I seen before such a mess and spaghetti code. Even new developments are quite messy, there is a huge lack of design and planning, One of the things I remember they asked me in the interview was “Do you know the difference between a programmer and a Software Engineer?” I ask the question back, Do you?

      A once great place to work that has lost its purpose along the way

      Pros

      - good to have on your CV - access to latest tools and technologies

      Cons

      When I first started at N26 just before Series C funding, it was a fun, if a little chaotic, environment where everyone was passionate about the product we were creating and felt engaged in the mission to build a bank people loved to use. Over time, the focus has shifted purely to getting as big as possible in terms of customers, people and funding and the C-level in the company have completely lost sight of what got people on board in the first place. Burn out, backstabbing, firing people at random with no explanation or reason, aggressive attitudes and complete tone deafness towards feedback have instead become the norm. The spark and excitement that once came with working at N26 has completely disappeared. The environment could be bearable if they paid market rate, but I moved to an earlier stage start up in a similar role and got a 20% increase on my salary.

      The business develops so fast sometimes big decisions are made without fully investigating the impact on every area of the business
