Pros

Nice team and a lot of people with different backgrounds ! Great flor for growing good and creative ideas with a nice spirit.

Cons

It's not about the development of the employees, but the development of the company. Employees are poorly paid. It is expected that it is all for the idea. 60 hours per week are no exception but the rule. Involved in the success ? ... not really. There are no special services next to the salary. If someone isn't working as expected or open his mind saying his opinion (which is agains the mainstream ) his time has expired. This is probably mostly to some executives, lacking in empathy and humanity. Leadership is clearly preferred by fear and domination. The result is a one-sided dependence, without that you notice it. Problems are sometimes not openly communicated - which cause to misunderstandings between all parties.

Hi There, Thank you for your review. We appreciate it. We also agree that everything we do should be about people. As an employer and service provider we are accountable to both our employees and customers - our most important relationship. One of the ways we want to improve in this area is by establishing a culture and engagement initiative where feedback from our employees will be taken on a regular basis to shape the company we are building. We are certain that this strategy which is in formation will help us grow and become not only a better company but a great place to work in Europe. Best, N26

Pros

This is a great startup which achieved within the last months lots of amazing things and everybody inclidung me can be proud being part of the team. How the teams are working together is unique and I am convinced I won´t find it anywhere again. Despite the fast growth in terms of the team size it is an amazing team and not distracted at all. HR/ recruitment is doing a fantastic job (not only in terms of recruitment) as everybody who is joining has the right professional skills and attitude and personality, which is for me most important beside the tasks and projects.

Cons

Sure, there are still processes which need to be placed and executed. On the other hand it wouldn´t be a real startup if that wouldn´t be the case. There is always room for improvement, but I can see the effort also the management team is doing.

Pros

- International environment - free perks and beverages - freedom of project selection - company offices It's generally a pleasure to work surrounded by international people.

Cons

Too hard to attract tech leads, impossible deadlines lately, talent seems to flee because software quality is unacceptable. Lack of proper management of engineering projects. Projects are managed and developed with a YOLO mindset. Total lack of testing in several back-end projects put the product quality in serious risk.

Dear Reviewer, Thank you for your feedback on your experience at N26. December 2016, as we have mentioned in other responses, was a migration period from our partner platform to our own backend system. We are very much aware of the amount of work which was required from all our teams and more so our tech leads given the responsibility they had to ensure their teams deliver on project. After successful migration, we’ve been working on increasing our team’s capacity to make sure that work is distributed well and that our employees are not overburdened. We are hiring a number of Tech Leads and Senior Software Engineers to make sure that this scenario does not repeat itself in the future. Best, N26
