Pros
Work life balance, employee perks, flat structure and great culture. Super agile company where employees can pick up the phone to call anyone, decisions can be made quickly and products launched rapidly.
Cons
More senior managers being hired from outside the business with strong corporate backgrounds is corroding the company culture. Whilst this does bring more structure and process (which can be good - especially where other managers have been promoted through the business with no real experience in management or leadership), there is a large risk of turning Adyen into another bloated bureaucracy where management own information flows that stifle innovation and encourage decision paralysis. There is also a push to hire externally for most jobs so once you’re in there is limited opportunity for promotion.
