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.
