Pros

- Great value product & its market positioning (value over price) - Good global exposure

Cons

- Draconian etiquette school- Regional leadership acts as 'Veteran gatekeepers of Adyen culture & values' & overdo it. They'd school you on how/when to talk, walk & even smile a certain way that they think is right, leaving no room for individual personalities to flourish- Intrusive management style. - Totalitarian set up- While we advocate freedom of speech & openness here, you're not really expected to practise it fully. Be careful questioning position, authority, management style because it offends the veterans & you can be called out negatively. - Organic workplace conversations with management are atypical. - Lack of formalised HR processes in regional offices, like India, lead to loose management style. - Inorganic feedback style, thru. emails & PDFs. Concept of bottom-up feedback mechanism is alien to a few in the management.

Pros

Great colleagues Free coffee and food Friday drinks

Cons

Low morale within the group finance team. The team is understaffed, leading to many individuals being overworked and burned out. Lots of pressure and poor work life balance Middle management lacks a clear strategy and direction, often appearing delusional. Promotions are based on politics

Pros

-The overall package and benefits are good. They make sure everyone is well provided for. no of holidays can be better tho -Great work-life balance -low stress for the workload

Cons

-once you work here, you'll wonder how people get promoted when they basically know nothing (be it technical expertise or leading people) -wasted time in meetings (most of your work is to have coffee chats and attend meetings) -Chaotic!! Adyen disguises this as unstructured work environment but in reality, it just lacks direction -Depends on luck, if you join a team with a competent and skilled manager, youll most likely be fine. Ive seen teams do great when leaders encourage and acknowledge them -office politics in the team that i joined is one of the worst i experienced! HR is non-existent! -flat but not really. your opinions will not matter since the manager has the final say. -overall toxic culture where you can feel everyone is just pretending Advice: if you want a meaningful and challenging work, adyen is probably not for you. but if you're more extroverted, loves talking to people and can pretend to like people all the time, this is the place to do so.
