kununu Prüfprozess
52 Mitarbeiter:innen haben diesen Arbeitgeber mit durchschnittlich 3,9 Punkten auf einer Skala von 1 bis 5 bewertet.
Bitpanda stellte ein gutes Hardware-Paket zur Verfügung und Home-Office war bis zu meinem Ausstieg immer noch drei Tage in der Woche möglich.
Im gehobenen Management entwickelte sich eine von oben herab toxische Dynamik und es bildete sich eine Gruppe von Managern mit gewissem Hintergrund, die sich gegenseitig bevorzugten. Wenn man nicht Teil dieser Gruppe war, fühlte man sich schnell einmal benachteiligt.
Man sollte Mitarbeiter nicht nur an Zahlen messen und auch die Bildung von sich gegenseitig bevorzugenden Netzwerken im Management verhindern. Ebenso sollte langjährige Leistung und Commitment auch belohnt werden. So könnten Mitarbeiter auch langfristig gehalten werden.
In meinem Team war die Stimmung nicht schlecht, insgesamt bekam man jedoch den Eindruck dass vor allem im Büro eine erdrückende Stimmung herrschte. Viele Kollegen hatten mit Micro-Management und unrealistischen Erwartungen zu kämpfen.
Bitpanda geniesst in Österreich ein gutes Image und eignet sich als gute Referenz für den weiteren Karriereweg.
Überstunden wurden regelmäßig eingefordert um die teils sehr hoch angesetzten Ziele zu erreichen. Man konnte das jedoch auch drei Tage die Woche von zuhause erledigen, was die Work-Life-Balance dadurch weniger beeinträchtigt hat.
Weiterbildungsangebote wurden nur unter strengen Vorlagen, die nicht erfüllt werden konnten angeboten und waren somit nicht wirklich vorhanden. Ich habe mich jedoch durch einen Abteilungswechsel weitergebildet, was mir geholfen hat.
Das Gehalt war unter dem Durchschnitt, gemessen an dem was direkte Konkurrenten bezahlen und Gehaltserhöhungen bei Angestellten müssten hart erkämpft werden.
Es gab Mülltrennung, die jedoch von den Mitarbeitern nicht eingehalten wurde. Zuschüsse für Öffis oder Fahrrad waren fehl am Platz, dafür gab es jedoch einen Parkplatz ohne Charging Station.
Der Zusammenhalt unter Kollegen war großteils gut.
Ältere Kollegen wurden nicht anders behandelt, auch wenn es ein vorwiegend junges Team war.
Mein direkter Vorgesetzter war gut, jedoch hatten die meisten meiner Kollegen, die ich kannte nicht so ein Glück. Micro-Management und unrealistische Zielsetzung war an der Tagesordnung. Das gehobene Management hat auch wenig Vertrauen ausgestrahlt, und wirkte teils arrogant und nicht reflektiert
Bitpanda lieferte ein Gutes Hardware-Paket und einen Home-Office Zuschuss (Strand 2021). Auch die internen Systeme waren gut aufgesetzt und leicht zu verstehen. Ein strukturiertes und professionelles Training hat es leider nicht in vollem Umfang gegeben, für österreichische Verhältnisse war es jedoch auf einem hohen Niveau.
Unser Manager hat klar und deutlich kommuniziert und war mir gegenüber stets fair, jedoch bekam man den Eindruck das vom gehobenen Management herab doch einiges an toxischer Energie verbreitet wurde.
Gleichberechtigung war kein Thema.
Mein Job war sehr monoton und interessante Projekte waren eher rar. Das lag zum Teil an starker Unterbesetzung zu hektischen Zeiten.
Dear colleague,
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We are glad to hear that you had a positive experience with your hardware setup, the remote work policy, and the support within your immediate team!
At the same time, we take your constructive criticism very seriously. Your comments regarding a challenging dynamic within upper management, micromanagement, and high workload do not reflect the workplace culture we strive to build. We are continuously working to strengthen leadership skills, ensure transparency, and foster a fair, appreciative environment across all departments.
Having said that, we appreciate your insights on professional development, compensation, and internal training, and we will address these within the company to help us improve.
Best,
Minko

Its a place for those who work hard and want to become champions. Its like preparing to become Olympic champions in the future. Definitely not a place for comfort zone seekers.
More engineers and more product managers please.
Update: suggestions on how to find the balance between demanding work environment & work/life balance --> I think allowing full remote work would make a difference. I am much more focused and less tired when working from home office.
We spend so much energy & time on being sociable and interacting with each other in corridors, at desks, corporate cafeteria. The only solution to mitigate office noise a bit is to sit in sound proof headphones.
When I meet with family in the evening or with friends --> I just want to sit in silence :) Also, when working from home office --> I am more productive. If I was allowed to, I would move to some small town with less expensive rent cost and would enjoy working from there.
Dear colleague,
thanks so much for taking the time to share your feedback! We're thrilled to see you're experiencing such positive vibes across so many areas - from our work atmosphere and leadership to career development opportunities.
Your description of our workplace as a place for those who "work hard and want to become champions" really resonates with us. We're proud that you see the growth-focused, high-performance environment we're building together. It's great to know that team members who are ready to push boundaries and excel feel right at home here.
We also appreciate your suggestion about bringing more engineers and product managers on board. Scaling our teams thoughtfully is definitely something we're actively working on, and feedback like yours helps us prioritize where to focus our hiring efforts.
The one area where you rated us as "ok" - work-life balance - is something we'd love to learn more about. If you're open to sharing more thoughts on how we can better support our team's well-being while maintaining our champion mindset, we'd really value that conversation.
Feel free to reach out if you'd like to discuss any of this further - we're always here to listen and improve together.

one of the best employers I ever had, I really like learning and growing here, support is amazing does not matter if it is HR or the manager, they are always here if you need something and super fast, but the whole company is fast - I like it a lot

Free lunch
Overtime, micromanagement, stressful atmosphere, layoffs and in general the pressure. We can't even get a coffee peacefully because there is a camera in the lunch area and a screen counting how many people are drinking coffee at the moment
Identify what is urgent and what is not, if management has unrealistic expectations then middle management should speak up (nobody does because they know they will be fired, but that's also a suggestion to improve culture)
A lot of pressure from management, overtime, layoffs all the time, insane expectations (f.e. working weekends or nights for urgent things that are not urgent)and micromanagement means people are always stressed, scared or making sarcastic or toxic jokes over lunch. This has gotten worse lately with market pressure
Mixed. It's known as innovative company but almost everyone in Vienna still remember the mass layoffs years ago
You're expected to work overtime, and to be reachable anytime even in weekends due to unrealistic deadlines and constant "urgent topics". Now that I'm going to interviews I have realized that this is not normal!
Good salary and free lunch,but less and less benefits over the years
Nothing I'm aware of except Bottle Deposit collection
Many are good people but since layoffs are common, there are also colleagues that might see you as competition and therefore not so friendly or authentic. you can also not build friendships when everyone leaves so fast
No "older" people, all are 25-35
Micromanagement and unhealthy expectations (unrealistic deadlines, overtime and weekend work)
Nice office
All on Slack. Except the bad news: you need to find that out from gossiping colleagues
Mostly men. Very few women at the company, even less in leadership roles, in the last years I have also seen almost no interest to change that. The positive is that there are many international colleagues (except in management)
Dear colleague,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We take such comments seriously and continuously reflect on how workplace initiatives are perceived.
Regarding the lunch area/coffee line: the system mentioned was developed as part of an internal AI project with the sole purpose of improving the employee experience by displaying current capacity and estimated waiting times in the bistro. No video footage is stored, no individuals are identified, and no personal data is collected or monitored. The technology only converts live visual input into anonymous numerical data (e.g. occupancy levels and waiting time in minutes) to help colleagues decide when it’s a good time to go.There is no intention to monitor, control, or track employees in any way. That said, we understand that perceptions matter, and feedback like this helps us identify where we need to communicate more transparently and clearly about the purpose and boundaries of such tools.
With regard to the topic of layoffs and pressure: we do not operate on a model of constant layoffs. Instead, we focus on continuous performance management, regular feedback, and clear expectations, with the goal of supporting development, accountability, and sustainable performance. This approach is intended to create clarity and fairness rather than uncertainty. We remain committed to fostering a work environment built on trust, respect, and open communication, and we value honest feedback as part of that process.
Your feedback matters to us, and we'd really appreciate the chance to have a conversation about your experience. Feel free to reach out to us directly so we can better understand your perspective and work together on making things better!

If you want to work on web3 products that matter this is the best place that i know of.
Not good for chilling out. You will find excellent engineers that are pushing the envelope. This is not the right place for everyone.
Vienna office is cool
A problem of many crypto Industry players - too much association with gambling
Its a high performance environment. Many colleagues put in more than average hours because they want to, but in the end performance matters and not weekly hours.
No better place to learn web3 engineering for scale
Improved every year and is stellar now
Vienna office is insanely nice
Very good in my immediate environment
Salary ranges on par with Austrias top employers
Best place to work on mass web3 adoption in Europe
