Joining Bitpanda was best decision ever!

Pros

I've joined Bitpanda in November and couldn't be happier. I was positively surprised with the company culture where everyone works together, supports and helps each other. The top-down policies are employee-centered with a great focus on growth and development. It definitely is not a place for those who prefer a regular 9-5 job. It is a great environment for growth and honing on your skills and developing new ones. There is also a lot of communication from C-level and Pandas' feedback is taken into consideration. It's about the results not hours, so there is a lot of flexibility which is great especially for women.

Cons

I wish the benefits package was complete - there are still a few things missing from it.

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.

Daily stress and with bad management that can't handle critics

Pros

The people are supporting each other and most of them are open minded Perspective if they achieve all the cons (long way to go for this) Good if you come abroad, they like to hire from Eastern Europe (Romania, Slovakia, Russia...)

Cons

Management and "buddies" of C-level are the elite, can't complain on them without being marked. Communication between departments is bad. Micromanagement from PM was so tight that in some departments, it made most of days unbearable due asking same question every 15 minutes and proving every work minute. Management worked solely on just to give the CEO's whatever they want whenever they want, if they change their minds it goes immediate reorganization etc. Overhead work, people under stress, only reaction if people start leaving. Few weeks back many toxic work environment questions appeared on a biweekly meeting, resulting CEO canceling the questionnaires.

Hello, thank you very much for taking the time to review our company. We are glad that you liked your co-workers and believe people at Bitpanda are open-minded. But it saddens us to hear that you've had a poor experience when working here. We take your feedback seriously and are having discussions internally about how we can improve in the areas you have pointed out. The questionnaire you mentioned was set in place to give all the team members an opportunity to share their thoughts and it was not canceled, it had a deadline from the beginning and management selected some of the points to discuss how we want to work on them in the future. As you may know, we have recently set an extensive feedback program into place in order to hear everyone%E2%80%99s comments and set ourselves improvement goals for the future. We did this because we believe that our team has great inputs and that only together we can make Bitpanda a great place to work. In addition, we are working on improving the overall strategy and the entire leadership level is participating in regular workshops to improve the service for their employees. Finally, I would like to mention that we are keen on hearing more details regarding your thoughts as we value your opinion. Therefore, I would like to encourage you to reach out to me personally via email. I am looking forward to get in touch. All the best,Nina
