Pros

Working with the teams and the people in your team is super nice, The people in general are very talented and willing to help. In terms of technology, we are working with the latest ones almost everywhere. Free to plan your work and how to approach solutions.

Cons

Salary does not increase for 3 years now, they force a bell curve when doing 360 evaluations of everyone, forcing managers to choose only a couple of people to get raises and masking that as only the most efficient ones getting raises. Bafin keeps freezing our customers onboarding, even if we are doing better checks then Revolut. Teams are understaffed everywhere, be prepared to do the work of more than one person. Upper management seems like children in kindergarten and don't talk to Works council like grown-ups. Want us to work from office because of company culture, even if most of C-Level presentation they are presented from their homes.

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
