N26 benefits from a very strong image outside the company and therefore became a very attractive company to work with as a partner or as an employee. Compared to the Start Up scene in Berlin, N26 presents way better salaries and perks. But that is: it.
Management (C-level but more especially leads!) have no idea what they’re doing, but they deny anything that could prove them wrong. They are not here to help you grow or to encourage you in projects because: they don’t know what your job is, they don’t know your KPIs or OKRs, so they get afraid and will just say “no”. They don’t look for excuses, they just say no.
Then, they victimise themselves. It’s not their fault if this or that happened. Because they’re leads and managers only in case of success. If you failed, it’s 150% your fault and they will deny any action they may have had.
N26 is a bro company like we love them in Berlin. 25 years-old guys are Directors because they helped the company 3 years ago. (Guys, yes, it’s almost of course only males) they just come here after failing in a Rocket Internet company with the worse Management skills and come here to try out terror management for a very very high salary and very very low abilities. They’re just here for the fame because N26 is the new trend and while you’re doing your maximum to make the company successful, they are just here to take credit for you actions and make sure you will stay at the lowest level while they make their promote their friends to jobs they have no abilities for.
Too long I didn’t read: don’t go there. You probably are worth better.
