Dear former Panda, We appreciate the feedback you have left for us and are pleased to hear that you found some positive experiences during your time with us. As you briefly mentioned, Bitpanda is a company that thinks big and moves fast. With our incredible hypergrowth continuing at an astonishing pace, we always aim to quickly spot new opportunities and make bold moves to bring about positive changes. At the same time, we understand that this fast-paced environment is not suited to everyone. We are proud to have the high quality of talent we now possess at Bitpanda and the wealth of knowledge and perspectives we can draw on from our international and diverse team members. We are very excited to see what the future holds for us. Thank you again for your feedback. We hope that this response has addressed the problems you faced here, and we wish you success in your next adventure. Best, Sarah - People Team

Pros

The people working there are really passionate about their job, but after a few months their passion is kicked down through C-level managers.

Cons

Mid June they said that they are not firing people and just 1 week later about 600 (37%) of all employees got fired.

Hi there — Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. At Bitpanda, we believe strongly in honesty and transparency, and we want to ensure that this is an equitable workplace for all. That’s why we think that it’s essential that all our folks are empowered to speak freely using Radical Candor to share informed opinions in an open, respectful way. We also know that being at Bitpanda means that this isn’t your typical corporate 9-to-5 and that our Pandas go above and beyond to keep raising the bar. This is why the recent news especially hurt, as it means that we’ve had to let go of some of the best out there. But, because we strongly believe in having a fully open, honest and transparent environment and are committed to doing things the right way, not the easy way, we wanted to ensure that this tough news was delivered as transparently as possible. However, regrettably, due to legal restrictions, we couldn’t communicate it in the most personal way that we would have liked to. As we watched the world events and market conditions intently, hopeful for a turnaround, unfortunately, we had to be realistic and reassess our strategy. Therefore, we made this difficult decision to ensure that we are fully weather-proofed to navigate the current storm in the market and get out of it financially healthy to continue our mission. We understand that times like these can make the future look uncertain. However, we want to assure you that these one-time-only measures will not affect the growth opportunities we have always given our Pandas. We are fully committed to ensuring that being here remains the best investment in yourself and that Bitpanda is an equitable workplace for all. After all, we know that the growth of our talented folks on the Bitpanda bus will mean we’ll be ahead of the curve to provide new products and services and help make investing accessible to everyone.

Hi former Panda — We’re happy to hear that you enjoyed working alongside your fellow Pandas in our new Vienna HQ and benefited from our hybrid working policy! At Bitpanda, our DNA reflects the incredible culture we’ve built together with our Pandas. We do our very best to ensure that everyone on our rocketship lives and breathes each of them to make this an open, honest and fully transparent workplace. When it comes to Radical Candor, we always strive to practice what we preach and give everyone here the ability to share their open and honest feedback. This is why we regularly give all our Pandas the opportunity to share what’s working well and where we need to improve in our completely anonymous Employee Voice Survey. Our dedicated People Team is also always on hand to provide confidential help and support whenever needed. Because the sector we operate in is rapidly changing, we have to move at a very fast pace (think building the rocketship while flying it!). And as we operate on the idea of “launch fast and iterate”, it’s never supposed to be perfect. Instead, we aim to learn together from our experiences and keep building — better — together. Thanks for taking the time to reach out and leave your thoughts about your time with us. We’re wishing you all the best in your next adventures!
