Pros

Bitpanda does a few things extremely well, such as giving a lot of "perks" (barman style coffee at the office, free drinks, flexibility on punching in and out) and reacting in an agile manner to market changes. This ensures that the company will stay mostly profitable, and that work is not pointless. If one likes to work and learn, this is a good place to attain knowledge and hone skills. As for the rewards...

Cons

... Bitpanda offers competitive salaries only to high posotions, and hardly ever to any operative figure. Theie turnover rate is between 6 to 18 months across most departments, and leadership changes occur as often as the wind blows. This translates to a climate of recurrent change, where yesterday's work is made redundant tomkrrow, the values of the company are tossed around as empty words, and you may fall off the graces of the new vizir thus losing any career progress achieved over the past years. To exemplify with a personal anecdote (which has been relived across my team mamy times over), after a majour and painful restructuring and adapting to mew leadership, whose goals we achieved and surpassed, new leadership was established that proceeded to restructure once more the team and demote people or promote them, based on no evidence or politics. Their subsequent strategy was a failure.

Hey Panda, Thank you for taking the time to write about your view of your Bitpanda experience. We're happy to see you highlight some of the things we're proud of like our work-life balance, agility and dynamic nature and a place for all Panda's to learn and grow. Every coin has two sides, with agile and dynamic nature comes growth pains and learnings for all of our Pandas. Facing some of the challenges many companies in our domain have faced like a crypto winter, economic recession have shaped how we needed to operate and shift our slightly direction for 2022-2023. We're happy that we're back on track in 2024 with 3 main priorities for our Pandas; learning, growth and work-life balance. There's one overarching clear goal for the company; to empower all users to generate their own wealth. We'd love to be able to discuss the above points with you further so please reach out to your manager or HRBP.

Pros

- The company focuses on efficiency, the work being done and its quality and not the mere hours sitting at the office. This has a very positive effect on my work-life balance. - There are very few meetings (and even those are short and productive), jour fixes don’t last more than 15 minutes and there is generally 0 bs. - Another factor that makes life here easier is that there are no diva developers with freedom to do whatever they want or threat other colleagues however they want. - I can definitely recommend Bitpanda, especially if you are not into strict corporate environments and want a challenging job at a cool and a bit chaotic company with friendly, young colleagues in an awesome business.

Cons

- Although the developers are fast and generally cooperative, sometimes they are difficult to communicate with or they don’t always feel like sharing information. - Communication and coordination are at the moment not the strongest asset of the company. But I guess this is generally an issue with growing start-ups, it’s not that important to me anyway, I prefer a bit of chaos to restrictive structures, nonetheless it bothers some folks. Anyway, people in the company are aware of these weaknesses and are taking measures to improve. I guess the company still has to find the balance between speed / flexibility and structure / coordination.

Hey there! We're happy to see you enjoyed a few of the many benefits that Bitpanda has to offer. Indeed, we did have layoffs in 2022 and since then we continue to take steps to build smartly for the future. In 2023 and 2024 we are even more dedicated to future proofing our hiring plans focusing on sustainable growth, security and the wellbeing of our Pandas.
