Bitpanda 

Gmbh

Bewertungen

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Recharge weeks, office food, and company events are amazing perks that add great value to the company’s benefits package.
It’s also worth mentioning the growth opportunities, which make a real difference for professional development.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

friendly atmosphere, comfortable workspace

Work-Life-Balance

work and life are well balanced

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Kommunikation

constant feedbacks from manager

Interessante Aufgaben

usually workload is shared equally inside the team

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Bitpanda thrives on a result-oriented, data-driven, and hands-on approach. It’s a place where radical candor is valued, boldness and competency are rewarded, and unnecessary politics take a backseat to action and innovation. For those who thrive in a challenging and fast-moving landscape, Bitpanda offers a rewarding and fulfilling workplace.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

No-nonsense work environment, where quirks and dress-code is less important than competency and teamwork.

Work-Life-Balance

Striking work-life balance in a high-pace and performance oriented crypto environment is a challenge, and one that I still need to vanquish. Regardless, the leadership is understanding and considerate of employees' needs.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Kommunikation

As for all fast-paced environments, communication can be a challenge: changes and new products happen faster than anywhere else, and yet we rely on communication to make it work.

Interessante Aufgaben

The nature of the cryptosphere—one of the most intense and unpredictable markets—means every day brings new challenges and opportunities.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

C-levels are smart guys. Modern industry, care for employees, great office infrastructure, great partnerships (Bayern Munich, AC Milan, NFL league, tennis and rugby stars). Free lunches, free snacks, free sodas and juices in fridges. Stock options plans.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Place for improvement: the need for efficient, effective and energized Product managers / Project managers is still there. There are several talented Products and Project managers - but the for the company of this size - still should be more. And they should be experienced superstars and doers who deliver.

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Lets please be very careful with hiring during potential hypergrowth periods. This could lead to wrong profiles onboarding.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Its dynamic, business and customer oriented. We are here to help the company achieve prosperity and have our share in this success ourselves. Those who think that they can parasite while showing fake work activity - usually do not last long in this company.

Image

Professional experienced employees understand where the company goes, why they are here and what is expected from them. They admire the company. Often those employees have solid experience of working in IT-industry and FinTech, and they are mature and wise enough to compare experiences.

When it comes to low performers, parasite slackers, toxic personalities, lack of professional skills and knowledge -- those employee profiles often start badmouthing management and start calling the work environment "toxic" because its easier for them to justify their own laziness and failures to deliver in their own eyes.

Work-Life-Balance

Vacations can be taken any time. No pressure for extra hours (unless volunteer step in). There can be moments to solve the crisis incident and to urgently reply some critical message, but those events do not happen often and do not last more than 30-40 mins.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

Company invests a lot in trainings and education. It provides every employee with a free access to Udemy Business accounts with thousands and thousands of training courses.

Gehalt/Benefits

Bring value to the table and you will be rewarded. Fair market exchange relationship. Its Austria: salaries and benefits are so regulated in this country that its hard to drop the ball here.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

Erasable Notepads, recycled pens, cozy location near the lake, surrounded by green lawns. Conveys environmental awareness vibe. The company also participates in charity projects.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

We have older colleagues. They look happy.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

Managers lead by example. Communication is transparent, meetings are documented. Expectations and feedbacks are documented. We try to be as data-driven and as documented as possible. This provides an opportunity to stay calm, focused and fair. If there is an expectation violation - initial agreement and expectation log is reviewed.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Infrastructure in Vienna office is very good.

Kommunikation

Regular Town Halls, recurring meetings and leadership updates help stay on top of the strategy, plans and latest updates.

Gleichberechtigung

Women holding C-levels position, women among VPs, women among managers, women among leads, women among experts. I haven't observed any disadvantaged returns, its the opposite. I think Bitpanda sometimes is even too mindful.

Interessante Aufgaben

Bitpanda is one Huge Interesting Task. Everyone can show leadership potential, come up with initiative and participate in execution, deliver, celebrate achievement. Then repeat the cycle.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Free lunches, if you remember to sign up, and if there’s no glass, metal or plastic in your plate that day

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Arbitrary hiring/firing, promoting people based on sympathy rather than skills, not recognizing the problems highlighted by the worker’s council over and over again (even causing some members to leave the company), no dogs allowed unless you’re the boss

Verbesserungsvorschläge

Work on your reputation by checking why the call keeps coming from inside the house. Live by your own five rules and standards, as well, instead of using them as excuses for firing competent people and never doing anything about fixing the rot that is coming from the head of the fish…

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Colleagues are great, but it is really hard when everything you say can and will be used against you. Weird decisions when it comes to hiring/firing, it all seems very volatile and arbitrary. That makes it hard to feel “safe” or particularly comfortable at work, since you are always walking on eggshells!

Image

I keep being asked why I work at a place with such a toxic reputation. Fintech in Austria is a mess, but even so, bitpanda has a terrible reputation

Work-Life-Balance

40h work weeks should be illegal in Austria, where it’s always 38,5h. The company swears it has only two office days a week, but your manager will bully you if you don’t come in at least four days a week.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

The company barely has budgets for the AI licenses that should replace half the team soon

Gehalt/Benefits

No budget for raises or even to justify keeping important teams, but we’re hiring and firing and spending on marketing and cooperations like it’s a bull run and we have unlimited funds

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

All according to the standards in Vienna

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

There are none

Vorgesetztenverhalten

They fired the only competent people manager in operations a few months ago. It’s been going downhill for a long while now though.

Arbeitsbedingungen

Choice of Mac/Windows, budget for home office stuff

Kommunikation

So many weird decisions when it comes to promotions, hiring, firing, budget allocation…. I feel like high-level, the communication is good, but as soon as you break it down to a more granular level, you find a bunch of managers running around like chickens with their heads cut off seemingly doing what they want and getting rid of whomever questions them or doesn’t “swear allegiance” to whomever is manager that month.

Gleichberechtigung

Can’t even have an LGBTQIA+ chapter or participate officially in Pride cause HR claims that “then all religions need to have equal representation”. As if sexuality is the same as a religion or a choice…

Interessante Aufgaben

The strategy changes so often that it doesn’t matter what you’re working on, it’ll be irrelevant after three months.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich

Office is amazing, work-life balance and perks are really great. I like stock option program and being part of the big schema.

Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich

I dont have anything that comes to my mind

Verbesserungsvorschläge

I don't see much topics to improve. Maybe more social events and parties can be organised as before.

Arbeitsatmosphäre

Absolutely amazing. There is no better place in Vienna to work

Image

Even though low-performers are trying to damage the image, it is still one of the handful tech companies in Austria that you are feeling safe and appreciated

Work-Life-Balance

That's ideal. Often low-performers and irresponsible colleagues (ex or current) finds this negative but I think the opposite. People complain just because they had to answer a few slack message at 5-6pm but nobody appreciate the flexibility to work from home and starting to the day at 10-11am.

Karriere/Weiterbildung

It is quite flexible and supportive. As long as you want to grow, it is possible and you always get support.

Gehalt/Benefits

Salaries are above the job market. Growth potential is high and you always feel that your contributions are appreciated. So far, I always received satisfactory raises without doing any drama. That's one of the best part of the company. You really receive what you deserve.

Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein

I really liked that nobody uses Business Card here! That's an old technology and really grateful about digitalisation.

Kollegenzusammenhalt

Umgang mit älteren Kollegen

Bitpanda is the place you can find people from any age. Everyone are respectful for older or younger colleagues. That mix makes it a perfect place for everyone.

Vorgesetztenverhalten

My managers are amazing. They are always reachable and supportive. So far no complains. They also support your growth and mentors you. I had couple of manager changes, they were all great people

Arbeitsbedingungen

As I shared above, it is very calm and stress free. I dont know other tech hubs but at least Vienna HQ is absolutely amazing.

Kommunikation

Regular townhalls and C-level meetings are the key to have clear understanding about the vision of senior management.

Gleichberechtigung

Company is full of super open-minded people. Also diversity is everywhere. Women in tech and People of Color are highly welcomed.

Interessante Aufgaben

Bitpanda is a perfect place to grow and develop skills to do lateral moves. Technically extremely challenging and interesting topics are what you deal. This is a perfect place for an engineer if they really want to grow professionally
