Adyen reviews

Horrible culture - This company very much acts like a start-up (heavy drinking culture, young gossipy environment) while the reality is that this is an established large scale global organization No Growth Opportunity - Related to the point above. They promise you that they are a growing company filled with opportunities but in reality they are already established and all higher up roles get hired externally. Internal mobility has become relatively impossible. Team Leads - Adyen has a huge middle management problem. Too many people were moved into management roles in the start up phase of the company when they clearly weren’t ready to lead a team. Now we have way more team leads than needed, with most of them being inexperienced, incompetent, and overbearing.

Very weak US commercial leadership. Huge middle management layer, many of whom were recently hired, completely clueless about the industry and also bad culture carrier. What makes it worse? Review is 100% based on your manager's rating. If an IC is too strong, an insecure team lead could make up random negative comments with no accountability. No check and balance to review the difference between what the manager's review and actual feedback received from an IC's stakeholders. Comp, like many already mentioned, are way below market. Unsurprising to see some ICs are trying hide commercial meetings from their direct managers, because some have tendencies to insert themselves in meeting, only to inadvertently derail the conversations given their lack of knowledge and their transactional way of approaching relationships.
