Pros

The company offers good pay in comparison to other positions in Berlin, however due to the awful environment the pay is not enough of a pro in the end.

Cons

I joined the company when it was still relatively small, during my time there the company grew exponentially and in my opinion they could not keep up with this growth. Management was often disorganized and inexperienced, priority was given to people internally to be promoted (which in theory sounds great), until you realize that this means very inexperienced people were getting promotions, and often proper process was not followed. For instance job offers were sent out by email internally, often requiring a written test, resume, and cover letter for you to be considered. You would then need the approval of your team leader before you would be considered for an interview. Not great if your team leader openly dislikes you (and most other females) for no apparent reason. If you do jump through all these hoops, and have your interview, you may then find out that they gave the promotion to someone else (and had been intending to all along), without this person even being interviewed. This is just one of many things which created an unfair and downright depressing atmosphere at work. It is little wonder that most people felt overworked, under appreciated, and were often taking many sick days.

Hi. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with us. It’s disappointing to hear that your experience was less than a positive one, and we’d like to take the opportunity to address your feedback. Our growth in 2019 was not without its challenges, but it also came with the opportunity to introduce many new programs and processes. The program guidelines for Internal Job Opportunities are something we have recently reintroduced to the entire company. All internal recruitment is driven by our team of Recruiting Partners, to ensure each applicant receives a fair process, and opportunities for growth. Last year we also rolled out a bi-annual promotion cycle, which allows our people to take ownership of their development in a structured and transparent way. As we hope you experienced during your time with us, we have an extremely talented and diverse group of people working together across the business, each bringing new knowledge and fresh perspectives to the team. Building a relevant and inclusive global product wouldn’t be possible without each person’s unique contributions, and is one of the many reasons why diversity and inclusion are so important to our mission. You mentioned that you joined N26 when we were much smaller; this is something we celebrate and really appreciate you being a part of this journey with us. Our door is always open, so if you have any other feedback or comments, please get in touch with the People team. We would be happy to chat with you.

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.
