      Pros

      Nice overall package of benefits that the People team has built over time (public transport subsidy, brown bag lunches, gym, generous development budget, metal card for long-term employees etc). Interesting challenges, if you're given the time and space to focus on them. Dog friendly, with lots of furry friends around for cuddles.

      Cons

      N26 is now a shadow of its former self. It's culture, which used to be one of its strengths, has become completely toxic. Employee morale is at an all-time low. The ramshackle "headquarters" in Berlin is certainly not the premises that you would expect one of the most valuable fintechs in the world to be situated in. It's difficult to get to by public transport and you'd be lucky to find a working coffee machine on one of the floors. Senior employees are leaving by the droves and there seems to be a resignation announcement/farewell party every other week. However somehow management seems to be turning a blind eye and continuing to proceed as if nothing needs to be addressed. Employees are not fairly compensated (although some departments more so than others) because N26 believes its "brand" on your resume is worth more than fair market pay. And finally, leads seem to be running around like headless chickens from one crisis to another. This results in unclear priorities and very little work getting done. I am not sure why N26 is valued so highly - the investors haven't seemed to have looked under the hood. They would have been frightened if they had.

      Thanks for sharing your feedback with us and your experience of working at N26. It's great to see that you are enjoying the benefits provided by our people team. This year has been a big one for us moving into a new HQ in West Berlin it was a huge project relocating and moving over 600 employees into the workplace. 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.

      Thanks for sharing your feedback with us and experiences of working at N26. As a hyper growth company, that can mean at times people are pushing to achieve multiple targets. This year we have high growth plans and that can cause an environment that is challenging to some people but also an environment where others can thrive. Over the Summer we introduced multiple new internal communication strategies including monthly founders Q&A and most recently a new intranet empowering all our employees to share information and stay informed.

      Full of opportunities but less structured

      Pros

      The manager is really willing to give chance for growth and talk about personal development. You can get some great opportunities if you are willing to take responsibility .

      Cons

      Since the company is in hyper growth, there are structure and procedures that needed to be built but are not completed. So sometimes it’s a bit messy and not thoughtful. There is no strong team bounding in the team. Everyone is doing their own job and new comer can feel isolated or hard to blend in. The information sharing between each department is not very transparent.

      Thanks for sharing your feedback with us and your experience of working at N26. In the Summer we introduced a monthly Q&A founders session which enables all employees to ask questions directly. This month we launched our intranet We26 which encourages communication to flourish across the organization: Teams can have open discussions and teams/individuals can share their knowledge. We wish you good luck in the future.
