From 1 April 2022, it became the first Austrian company of its size to offer unlimited, fully-paid annual leave.

Moreover, it introduced two fully-paid “Recharge Breaks” per year, during which the whole company will effectively close down: these collective breaks granted to the entire team assure people can fully disconnect. If people cannot take time off during the set Recharge Breaks,  they will be entitled to time off in lieu at a later date.

The “Work from Anywhere” policy allows people to work from a location of their choice for up to 60 working days per year, even if people working from other countries need to make sure that 80% of their daily working time overlaps with the rest of their team.

Employees will also have the ability, on an annual basis, to spend around 50% of their time working at their local talent hub (located in Vienna (HQ), Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Bucharest, Dublin, Krakow, London, Madrid, Milan and Zurich) and the remaining 50% working from home.

Bitpanda also introduced a 20-weeks fully paid parental leave policy for all new parents, reflecting its commitment to inclusivity and diversity in our workplace. 

“We are a company that grows at hyper-speed, and we expect a lot from our team members. That’s why we’re giving them the freedom and flexibility to choose what’s best for them. Investing in our people and giving them space to prioritise their health and wellness are key contributors to driving growth”, said Lindsay Ross, CHRO of Bitpanda.

“We know that in order to achieve good results and to be the leading investment platform in Europe, our team also needs to feel well and fulfilled. Investing in our people and creating a healthy, friendly and laid back work environment brings benefits on all levels – for the company, our employees and our users. We’re glad to be able to offer the support our team needs to find their own work-personal balance, so that at the end of any day they reach their maximum potential on both levels.”, concluded Rareș Huțanu, Director of Engineering and Bitpanda Talent Hub Bucharest Site Lead.
