Pros

+ great insights into an exciting industry + no constraints for new ideas (also cross functional ones, which need attention of different department) + many corporate benefits (and even more to come) + family atmosphere

Cons

- probably banks won´t like you - sometimes you don´t really know which new project is on, so a bit more overview would be fine sometimes

This is what I think

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.

Miserable work environment

Pros

Good relationship between the developers.

Cons

The co-founders are arrogant, they stay in their office and rarely talk nor frequent the developers. Human resources are actively looking for new employees but don’t care about them once hired. When a problem occurred, don’t even try to reach them. Happy and productive workers is not a goal at Bitpanda. For instance, once HR moved quickly in the morning to an office and asked everyone to leave with his equipment in a different place without notice, as with cattle. Behind the facade, Bitpanda is a small company with a rigid and miserable work environment. Example of misuses authority is frequent, and the profitability of Bitpanda thanks to the high transaction fees should not justify these behaviours.
