Pros: Clear focus and direction from the board

Cons: Pressure to deliver could result in colleagues failing to keep up, causing a negative atmosphere.

Pros: Work-life balance, culture, and people.

Cons: No wage transparency and ambiguous career progression

Pros: Adyen allowance and free lunch during noon.

Cons: No leaders. At a whole company’s and a full team’s level, Adyen is just a heap of loose sand, even though at an individual level, every member is “smart”. Team leads are just wrong people promoted to the wrong place; otherwise, they have nowhere to go after several years of working at Adyen. My manager is a habitual liar with very limited understanding/embracing of different people and discriminated against women. He used a formula to justify himself being hostile to capable women in technical roles. Very old and hard-to-maintain tech stack. It is not a fintech company as it may seem; it is a fake. International colleagues are a truly nice thing, but cultural barriers exist and need to be taken into account to collaborate with each other instead of being ignored. I’ve worked with team members too competitive who just wanted to prove they are the best instead of sharing and learning from mutual differences.
