Adyen reviews

Leadership seems lost and slow to finalize expectations & prioritizations across different sectors.

The company over hired significantly, claiming in their investor calls that they will continue to do so despite competitors cutting jobs. In reality there has been a tighter lid on spending and an unofficial 'hiring freeze'. This varies greatly from team to team. Adyen suffers from a younger and inexperienced workforce, which although at times can also be a definite 'pro' there is a notable difference between employees starting out there and the experienced few. The mid-senior level noticably has a lack of patience with the entry level positions and student workers in general. There is little career guidance in this sense with team leads oftern referring to their slogan 'own your own career' which unfortunately often means you are on your own. This can work for many, but I came across many others who struggled in this career grey zone. There have been several cases of part timers working towards full time under the impression that they are either on the right track or that the full time position is open or available only to find out that this is not the case.
