Adyen

• Pays well
• Free lunch
• Barista in the office
• Central location

• Legacy spaghetti code, no tech stack
• No product vision
• Manager involves in every meeting, makes every decision without asking the team
• Actually, there is no team at all
• Individual work is dominant rather than teamwork
• Remote work is discouraged
• Working from abroad depends on manager approval and has no standard approach
• You have to fight for the details of your work, for example, to understand what they are exactly asking you to do.
• The manager is proud of being unstructured and chaotic (probably he confuses having no structure with agile)
• No openness and direct feedback; people talk behind each other

Reduce the hierarchy.

Don’t let team managers decide on everything and act like a king.

Be open to change and don’t be afraid of a new tech stack and new ideas.

Introduce some structure to teams. You can apply Scrum.
