Pros

Really cool if you're in a position to take advantage of the culture.

Cons

The engineers tend to do whatever they like without really considering the impact to the current product. This leads to unnecessary outages and huge delays for merchants whose implementations are sometimes broken by these changes. There is also an intention to make the culture of the company more global but it is clearly centered around Amsterdam and its values.

Toxic Manager - worst experience of my life

Pros

Benefits package is good They know how to throw a party You don't really work that much

Cons

Adyen has been the worst professional experience of my life so I cannot recommend this company. When you prone that you are a "culture first" company, you cannot afford to have toxic management. A company that refuses to answer the question "what is performance?" will end up promoting people for their relationships and visibility more than for their actual skills. It's not really fast paced, but I don't think that's a bad thing.

Poor Guidance for Entry Level and Working Students.

Pros

Good opportunity to learn. Flat corporate culture. Initiating your own project is encouraged. Great Lunch and Coffee Excellent Location in Amsterdam Fast Pace Industry A diverse group of people.

Cons

Task in Operational and Technical Support are repetitive. Too much independence is given to entry-level and junior staff. Custom-built software is prone to errors and counterproductive. A very forced work culture. Employees have to pretend to (' talk straight' and 'launch fast'). Alot of big egos and subtle politics. But this differs from team to team. New hires are given tasks with little context and guidance. Telling the staff that they are responsible for their own development is Adyen's way of not taking responsibility for proper training. Some teams lack chemistry and proper guidance form team leads.
