Toxic. Absolutely disrespectful to their workforce and no real personal growth potential.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
The people who do the real work are amazing, most of them young and very open minded.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Other than everything mentioned above, the treatment of their ex colleagues after laying them off. No support whatsoever through the whole off boarding process, missing payments for remaining vacation days. And after chasing the company for missing payments/information due to their failings, you’re ghosted, need to double text and get no transparency at all. Very untrustworthy behaviour.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
HR needs to step up and really care about the people working in this company or else it will be impossible to hire talent anymore. The whole city of Vienna knows about Bitpanda’s bad treatment of their workforce and people get scared off. Leadership needs to evaluate their leaderships skills.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
In my department, people really cared about each other and I worked with the most amazing colleagues. In the beginning there was also a big belief in the mission and values of the company, it was almost cult-like. Bitpanda and their leadership destroyed this completely the moment they felt pressure from
investors, the mission got overturned and people cannot identify with it anymore.
Kommunikation
One of the worst places I’ve seen. Decisions are made without informing anyone. People are being laid off without their team leads knowing, no exit interviews, no one cares about you.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
In our department this was amazing, other departments don’t have it as nice.
Work-Life-Balance
You’re expected to be reachable 24/7 WITHOUT GETTING PAID FOR OVERTIME. It’s not even that the workload is too big, people just expect you to be there anytime they could need something from you. “Flexible” working hours means - be flexible whenever THEY want you to. Your own flexibility is deprioritised.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
In every level of leadership there is lack of experience (the oldest leaders in bitpanda are in their mid-thirties) and lack of acknowledging their mistakes and areas of improvement. I’ve never felt more disrespected than by the behaviour of some of Bitpanda’s leadership. They don’t only perceive you as a number, they will make you feel it, too.
Interessante Aufgaben
Interesting in the beginning, getting worse overtime because of lack of budget and micromanagement from the leadership.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Which older colleagues? The ones I knew got laid off or left. This is not an environment for older people, if you’re experienced and established enough you won’t put up with this.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Office is amazing, free Lunch in the HQ was great, they changed the meal plan to an unhealthy version without letting anyone know though.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Nothing really.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Depends on your department and if your leadership is fighting for it. Ours wasn’t, a yearly salary negotiation is basically non-existent. They don’t do Inflation adjustments, everything is “performance based” but they never evaluate your performance or define actual goals, so there is no way to judge it anyways.

Was great, they fell off.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
No support with this. If you start a job here, be sure you want to live with the exact same position for quite some time without a real chance to change it, even with exceptional performance (which isn’t measured)
