Fake Fintech, Toxic Management
Fake Fintech, Toxic Management
Adyen allowance and free lunch during noon.
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.
Having the right people in lead roles, things will change.

Adyen Interview Experiences

It was okay. They rejected me at the technical team interview because my profile didn't match. I am experienced in data engineering and MLOps. They wanted more on the data engineering side and not with an infrastructure background.

The interview process at Adyen is very long and disorganized for what it is. The different people seem nice, but at the end, the process is tedious and will take months. First, there is a call with the recruiter. There is a high chance the recruite

The interview process was not good. The recruiter did not even ask for my introduction. Her questions were not good in terms of evaluating the candidate. She sent some instructions before the interview to prepare, but they were not useful.
