Pros

Huge pros are the international environment and the great colleagues you'll find there.

Cons

You can make a career easily and lose it in a second, just as soon as management changes. Transparency is not an option: you either take it or leave it.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We completely agree that getting to work with a talented group of colleagues in such an international environment is one of the reasons that makes N26 a special place to work. Our Leadership & Organizational Development team work directly with N26’s people managers to develop, improve and reinforce the business strategies, structures and processes. And as your People team, we are here to listen to your concerns and take action when and where it’s needed. To suggest otherwise is simply not true. That said, we also offer an external Speak up hotline, which you can contact at any time should you need to raise a concern in a confidential, secure and anonymous way. We have shared your feedback with the leadership team so that we can reflect on your concerns and think about ways we can further adapt and do more to ensure these concerns are addressed.

Pros

- plentiful of terrific folks at all levels <3 - well though out all-round on-boarding experience - lots of opportunities, though you are expected to fight for them relentlessly - globally ground-braking product - usual startup perks: drinks, snacks, etc.

Cons

- corporate promotion system that doesn't apply to everyone - top-down management culture - archaic attendance model: no home-office and crappy vacation time - unattractive and unfinished new office in West Berlin - compensation growth falls short of market trends but more importantly it doesn't take into account the insane amounts of regularly added workload - cronyism at management level, though this is likely an industry problem that n26 is just not immune to

Pros

Great team spirit, working with people who are smart and truly passionate about what they do.

Cons

Very top-down approach, which would be great if leaders had a clue about where to go and what to do.

Appreciate your feedback here, and can only echo your sentiment on working with a team of smart and passionate people. We really love showing up everyday to work with such great minds. We also recognize that there are opportunities for improvement, and your constructive feedback is equally as important. We would like to respond to this below. In addressing your concerns around reorganizing and restructuring, it’s important to point out that this type of change is not uncommon for a dynamic, fast-growing organization like N26. That said, we understand that it can be difficult to constantly adapt to this type of change. Our executive leadership team has taken this feedback on-board, and are committed to paying extra attention and care when it comes to our approach and communications around any structural team changes. We also see opportunities in establishing global employee representation to address these concerns and provide input in the discussions and decisions. As we mentioned, N26 is made up of the world’s best minds, from a diverse range of backgrounds, ethnicities, and experiences. With over 80 nationalities in our workforce, and a presence in 25 global markets, diversity and inclusion is a central part of what makes us N26. We see diversity as a source of strength, allowing us to draw on a wealth of creativity, perspectives and experiences that help us deliver the most relevant and inclusive product to customers globally. We have three dedicated internal task forces focused specifically on driving diversity, equal opportunities and inclusion within the business. Thanks for speaking up and sharing your perspective on where we need to focus our efforts, in order to take N26 to the next level.
