If you can, don't start there
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Nothing after mid-2023
Verbesserungsvorschläge
As a ‘German company’, Trade Republic should stop relocating its departments abroad for cost reasons and run its business through working students. This is not very serious, especially for a company where money is at stake.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The working atmosphere was great at the beginning, it was like a small family, even when I started. Over time, things got worse and worse, employees were made redundant and an atmosphere of fear took hold.
Kommunikation
It's absolutely rubbish. You ask a question and can count yourself lucky if someone answers it at some point.
This was even the case for managers, especially from 2024 onwards.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Was good.
Work-Life-Balance
I couldn't complain, I could organise my time as I needed it. However, this is said to have changed dramatically. a lot of overtime and projects are scheduled with too little time.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Absolutely great until 2024, but then a new supervisor came in who had no idea, no communication from this supervisor. The other managers up to 2024 were great, but then either resigned themselves (now I know why) or were also dismissed for unknown reasons.
Interessante Aufgaben
You're a trader, you know what you have to do.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Every other bank pays more, it is always said that they pay competitively, but this is absolutely not true. Pay is about 10k to 15k a year less than other banks. If you have just graduated and it's your first job, they will take you with a kiss, as you have no idea of the comparative pay and therefore think you are being paid a lot. I would rather do 2 internships to gain experience and then work for a real bank or financial service provider that pays properly.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
It is not possible unless you are in your mid-twenties, have no children, and are on a first-name basis with the management. Otherwise, managers are more likely to be hired from outside.
