Upper management is a joke

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

- Office dogs - Some teams are good to work with, great people, talented and hard-working. It's not the majority though. - Personal development budget for conferences and books - Perks that every startup in Berlin has, like pizza, fruits and drinks.

Cons

- The upper management (C-Levels mostly, but some managers as well) are extremely incompetent. They have no idea on the direction of the company, what to prioritize and how to tackle the many issues N26 has since the hypergrowth started. - The company is completely driven by politics. There is no way to advance in the company doing a good job, only playing the politics game. - A huge amount of bureaucracy. It feels like 80% of the time is spent writing forms, begging for approvals from people that have no idea what they are going or waiting for some part of the infrastructure to be fixed. - The CEO seems to care more about his hair than about his employees. How is it possible that someone buys a private AC for his office and doesn't even provide fans to the employees? Would someone that cares about his employees migrate all the tech department to an office that looks like a construction site while himself only moves when everything is almost done 5 months later? - There is a ton of legacy code that is no being tacked because the company is too focused on expanding to new markets. The product is basically frozen in time and hasn't had any new feature in the past year. - I haven't ever seen such a bigger turnover rate in a company. Every week someone is leaving. - While there are some great engineering managers, others are just dead weight to the team. Their only job is to approve vacations and give useless talks about feedback. - There are so many levels of management the company looks like a military organization. Some teams have even more managers than creators.

Thanks for sharing your feedback with us and your experience of working at N26. We pride ourselves on providing an inclusive and collaborative working environment to help us grow and develop, which means we have highly committed and focussed individuals working at all levels across our teams. Understandably, our journey is one that doesn’t match everyone's personal journey and although we aim for every N26er to be set up for success, there are rare times where this has not been possible. The quarterly engagement survey results are analyzed by the People and Leadership team over the summer new internal communication strategies were introduced including the monthly Founders Q&A and global intranet.
