Pros

Smart people (but many of the best are leaving), great products, respect for work / life balance, food at office, trips to Amsterdam, interesting work with some of the best companies globally

Cons

Adyen commercial leadership in North America is incapable or unwilling to solve a classic problem -- retention of commercial talent. Scores of Adyen talent has hit the job market after lackluster bonuses and pay bumps. Adyen egregiously pays under market norms (base salary for competitor, Stripe for equivalent roles is quite literally 4x what Adyen is willing to pay.) Rather than promote and pay high-performing individual contributors, Adyen has elected to bloat middle management with outsiders. An interesting move considering that all other major tech companies are cutting out middle management and doubling-down on high-performing individual contributors. So in short, at Adyen you can expect to work amongst stars and black holes. Frankly, the best in the market are out of Adyen's pay band, which is a bummer Adyen really does have the makings to be one of "the greats".
