Pros

- Used to have a friendly remote work policy (RTO is enforced in 2025) - Premium N26 accounts - Good learning budget - International talent with diverse, creative ideas and solutions

Cons

- Badly managed workplace, managers have a big role in everything and they are the bottlenecks, pull their own people down - Fake and pointless OKRs, underreporting - Slow growth, you need to suck up - No reward for speaking up and telling the truth - Average salary, the top management looks at the employees as peasants

Pros

Small team in NYC working on bringing N26 to the US. Flat team structure (no bureaucracy or painful hierarchies). Open lines of communication and instant feedback loops. Everyone is extremely smart and driven towards a common goal, and we also enjoy each other's company both in and out of the office. There's also respect for having a life outside of work and a good sense of balance. Huge opportunity to take on as much work as you can handle and drive your own workstreams and outputs. I've found that my scope of responsibilities is quite large, and since joining, I've broadened my skill-set significantly in areas I wanted to expand upon.

Cons

Coordination with Berlin can be difficult at times given time zones and hypergrowth there. Nonetheless, people always are willing to help out and make themselves available when needed. Small team size as of now means fewer hands to help with all that needs to get done. That said - plenty of opportunity for new joiners to take on key tasks and responsibilities as we continue to grow the team
