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.
No-nonsense work environment, where quirks and dress-code is less important than competency and teamwork.
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.
Colleagues are by far the highlight of our environment.
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.
The nature of the cryptosphere—one of the most intense and unpredictable markets—means every day brings new challenges and opportunities.
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.
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.
Lets please be very careful with hiring during potential hypergrowth periods. This could lead to wrong profiles onboarding.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Erasable Notepads, recycled pens, cozy location near the lake, surrounded by green lawns. Conveys environmental awareness vibe. The company also participates in charity projects.
Relationships among colleagues are healthy and open. There can be some exceptions, but overall it deserves 5 stars.
We have older colleagues. They look happy.
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.
Infrastructure in Vienna office is very good.
Regular Town Halls, recurring meetings and leadership updates help stay on top of the strategy, plans and latest updates.
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.
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.
Free lunches, if you remember to sign up, and if there’s no glass, metal or plastic in your plate that day
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
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…
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!
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
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.
The company barely has budgets for the AI licenses that should replace half the team soon
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
All according to the standards in Vienna
Obviously there are some exemptions, but after over a year at bitpanda, I don’t even trust my own shadow. It feels like most people are just waiting to throw you under the bus, and even your “friends” will turn on you if the wind shifts the wrong way that day…
There are none
They fired the only competent people manager in operations a few months ago. It’s been going downhill for a long while now though.
Choice of Mac/Windows, budget for home office stuff
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.
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…
The strategy changes so often that it doesn’t matter what you’re working on, it’ll be irrelevant after three months.
Used to be better
Flexible working hours but lots of work
Theoretically you would have options but then there is hardly any time next to daily business to use these
Generally great co-workers but also lots of politics
Depends very much on the manager
Regular town halls but only high level information
Interesting topics generally but can change quickly
Weites Aufgabenpaket, gute Sozialleistungen, stetige Entwicklung des Arbeitsumfelds, gutes Arbeitsequipment
Freunderlwirtschaft, Amerikanische Arbeitskultur, mir kam es so vor als würden die Vorgesetzten gegen einem arbeiten anstatt gemeinsam
Ein gesunden Misch aus Amerikanischer und Österreichischer Arbeitskultur wäre empfehlenswert.
Es sieht am Papier so aus, aber wenn etwas wichtiges ansteht und um 3 in der Früh nicht erreichbar ist (ist im Vertrag nicht hinterlegt gewesen) dann steht man massiv unter Kritik.
Sehr starke Freunderlwirtschaft
Dump processes that don't take into account all teams and needs, try to criticize and see how no manager has the balls or the will to actually solve any problem, they are just scared and want to keep their jobs.
It was good once
Not bad
Talented people in engineering
Incompetent managers and department leaders, no one has the ability to do any actual impact or change even if the system is clearly broken.
Very pretentious, you have to be a master of corporate talk and big words just to keep up
No way to have a fair or premium pay unless you are in the right team and the right position, if you end up in a not-so-critical team forget about promotions or any salary raise above inflation rate.
Lots of tension, people are quiet and don't dare to speak up as being laid off goes super fast.
Marketing campaigns try to improve the image, but on the job market the company is still well known as the people burner with intransparent layoffs.
Depends on the department. Some are ok with lots of freedom, others are working late and weekends. Certainly not equally distributed and adequatly compensated for the latter.
Hard split between career opportunities and education offering needed here.
New all-you-can-learn online course offering is great, doesn't help your inhouse career though
Market standard, company chooses to place itself in the middle of comparable payment bands, only high valuable areas and positions are getting paid a premium.
Other social features feel more like a poor attempt rather than an honest employee retention offer.
Hard to judge, trash is being separated
Colleagues stick together, but it's more like "we're in this mess together, so let's try to make it through the day".
Average age seems to be somewhere around 25-28, so there aren't many old people in IT, mostly in administration. There are few overlaps, but there it seems to be ok.
Most of them are killing you with a smile - encouraging words that are followed by intransparent and backstabbing decisions.
But there are exceptions too.
We don't get top notch hardware as promised. Even thoughyou can choose between iOD and windows, the laptops are nothing fancy, but they do their job.
You need to like open space offices, bring your own noise cancelling headsets as you'll only get standard gear.
There is lots of talk, but mostly motivational speeches and self-praising. Little that helps you understand the strategy, bigger picture and why certain decisions are made - both on department and company level.
Seems fairly distributed from my perspective
If you are in the right department, you will learn a lot. But it mostly means: you learn it yourself, nobody is going to teach you anything - so it's mostly exposure to the topics.
Office is amazing, work-life balance and perks are really great. I like stock option program and being part of the big schema.
I dont have anything that comes to my mind
I don't see much topics to improve. Maybe more social events and parties can be organised as before.
Absolutely amazing. There is no better place in Vienna to work
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
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.
It is quite flexible and supportive. As long as you want to grow, it is possible and you always get support.
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.
I really liked that nobody uses Business Card here! That's an old technology and really grateful about digitalisation.
Especially in the last 1-2 years, there is really an amazing recruiting process followed. That ensures to bring only high-performers to the family. Really happy about the collegues and learning a lot from them as well.
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.
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
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.
Regular townhalls and C-level meetings are the key to have clear understanding about the vision of senior management.
Company is full of super open-minded people. Also diversity is everywhere. Women in tech and People of Color are highly welcomed.
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
I believe this is highly dependent on the team, however my experience has been valuable, dynamic and fun. There are days that bring a lot of pressure due to the fast changing environment, however everyone is willing to assist at any given moment.
With the hybrid policy and quite flexible working hours, work-life balance throughout the week is manageable, however it takes some time to set your own priorities and get into the flow. Some days are longer, some days are more relaxed.
As an intern, Bitpanda does cover a satisfying salary that would be enough for one to live independently.
Due to 2 mandatory office days in a week, as a department we do spend quite a bit of time together and get a chance to work closely with one another.
Me, as a more social person, I use the company events to meet more people and it has been great so far. This is fully based on personal preferences and you can adapt as you wish.
Supervision and mentoring has been exceptional, everyone from the manager to the team members is more than willing to explain, help and give opportunity to learn more.
Working conditions in the headquarters are exceptional - ergonomic set ups, few lunch options per day, barista...
Bitpanda is a progressive company full of modern approaches, however communication from top-down can be quite last minute and that sometimes does bring slight frustration.
The magnitude of tasks has allowed me to grow in the past months like I would not in some companies for years. Besides standard daily tasks, there are always new things coming in - which also allowed me to test my grounds and see what I am the most interested in.
I understand what my manager needs from me, and I can also rely on him to help resolve obstacles. Besides, the cross-team collaboration in engineering is excellent.
This fast-paced environment, with deadlines, can also lead to a heavy workload. Everyone has to decide for themselves whether they want that. Internal shares are also very virtual.
More transparent with salary ranges, as well as in leading positions.
The image is worse than it is in reality. It also depends on your team, but for Engineers, it's a very good company.
Career opportunities are now being more transparent for lateral and vertical moves.
Very well paid, only big big US tech companies are
Many very talented people work at bitpanda, especially in the engineering department.
Vienna HQ offers many really good benefits: lunch, a barista, soft drinks all for free, shower possibilities, and a private/ secured bicycle storage room.
Getting better and more transparent, still a lot to improve
Very fast-paced, challenging work, sometimes hard deadlines.
So verdient kununu Geld.
