Pros

The US engineering team is great. The people here are very knowledgeable, incredibly helpful, and just amazing to be around. The team is honestly one of the best parts of coming to work. The US team as a whole is also amazing. People are really friendly, knowledgeable, and are always willing to help out. Salary is slightly above nyc average

Some pains with dealing with EU

Pros

Office dogs(until banned by the building owner in Barcelona), food on Wednesday and pizza on fridays

Cons

- Tight and unrealistic deadlines for features that dont really make sense, but C-level wants to implement - Most experienced people leaving, resulting in new people being in charge of taking desicions(like a new product owner having to commit to a Q3 planning on his first day) - Lack of key positions resulting in subpar people or others taking multiple roles - Management decisions usually have no explanation, and go against the recommendation from Tech and Product - Rushing for new markets instead of adding new features, expanding current ones or implementing promises to customer - High reliance on manual processes with not enough time to implement them - No room to grow - Lack of help from the People team, specially in the Barcelona office where recruiters do most of the tasks as there is no people team - Lack of support for technical changes that would solve problems that cause frequent incidents - Pressure on working on new features as fast as possible without prioritizing other work that would make it easier or even give it for free, while cleaning up legacy code - Backend-centric, even not inviting frontend or mobile to key implementation desicions of going over what was decided previously with them - No clear carrer path, sometimes the feeling that your manager and manager's manager are working against you

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We make sure that all feedback we receive - both good and bad - is shared with the relevant stakeholders at N26. So know this will be reviewed and actioned upon. It’s important to note that all business decisions are made with careful thought and consideration. There are of course times when things change or new processes are introduced, and we appreciate that this can be challenging to navigate during a period of fast growth. We are working hard this year to ensure a more focused and involved approach with all of our employees, and truly hope that you will see this become a reality. We introduced a new performance management metric last year that allows bi-annual promotions for those that are learning and developing in their current role level. All of our employees have personal ownership of their career development and are in the driver’s seat when it comes to the feedback needed to focus on career progression. We are fully transparent in this approach to help people grow and develop in a way that fits their own career path. In Barcelona, not only do we have a dedicated Recruiting team to support our growth, but also have dedicated resources from a more general People perspective. With all of our offices we ensure this dedicated support is available. If you would like to discuss any points further, please reach out to the People team. We’d love to hear your feedback to get a better understanding of your experience with us.
