Pros
- Great culture. No matter what some people might say, it's a very social company, no ego's & toxic behaviour to be found anywhere, diverse. Flat hierarchy (C-levels will literally chat to everyone), supportive managers. The Adyen Formula is a great tool to make decisions and behave in an efficient way - 'pick up the phone', working across cultures & timezones, etc. Yes, Adyen is office-first but it's actually fun to be in the office because everyone is so friendly and there's a lot of personal growth to experience because of the close team culture.
- Great opportunities. People who do well are quickly rewarded with promotions, travel opportunities and even relocations/exchanges to foreign offices. Even junior/young employees are given the chance to be part of impactful projects, become team leads and travel to customer visits.
- Compensation (monetary & non-monetary) has been upgraded recently and is very competitive. Base salary is good, additional benefits are great and include allowances, relo packages, travel opportunities, free food, barista's, expensable team events etc.
- Hypergrowth - it's a cool stage to be in this company, everything moves fast and work changes all the time.
Cons
- Commuter & travel benefits could be better, HR team could do more on the partnerships side to improve employee benefits - i.e. preferred airline status benefit, bike plans, unlimited public transport cards for North America based employees. There is currently a pre-tax commuter benefit but could be better.
- Diversity / DEI in the Amsterdam office could be improved. In other offices it seems better, especially in North America.
