Adyen reviews

More than 10 people left the commercial within 2-3months, many people have been with 3-5 different managers for less than 2-3 years, constant management changes, high turnover over rate, losing lots of talents due to mismanagement. New leadership hired externally are extremely territorial, they only care about their own interests. U.S new leadership is rewriting the global rules, trying to get their own people assigned (the people they like) to the deal others have been pursuing for a long time. The organization has a lot of office politics, lots of distractions making it hard to focus on the work itself. A lot of women/ black/ Asian were forced, or choose to leave the company. You have to be “liked” to get the right resources need to be successful. No transparent lead distributions/ event assignments process. High pressure cooker environment with unclear expectations, don’t judge employees performance by results/numbers, but on personal subjective opinions, while sales is a job evaluated by quantitative data, the performance review is very subjective. No promotional opportunities.

My experience has been extremely disappointing, and resulting in being fired while on probation period. The reason that has been announced to me was 'you are not inspiring enough'. When I asked to elaborate on that, I was told "Well, if you do not understand - then there is definitely no click and no reason for us to continue working together". This sounds as ridiculous as it really was in the moment. I've shared it here, so that my further points about the company make more sense. - Environment is very clique-ey, and not at all inclusive of the external hires. I was one of the first external people to be hired for my position, and I rarely was included in the chats and informal talks. You need to make a certain impression (you need to guess which one yourself somehow), and make people think that you're cool. - During the first month in the job, you are actually not expected to do any work whatsoever, but to chat with people and build your network. This actually means that you need to get people to like you without having done any work. So you need to convince people that you are cool. - The values of the company (the Formula) is pretty much a trap. If you think a little bit about the items in it, you will see that one can justify literally anything by the formula. Additionally, I was openly told during one of the onboarding meetings, that people are almost never fired because of the performance, but will be fired for not 'fitting the formula'. Considering how wide the formula is, this leaves a huge place for subjective judgement. - There is no standard towards feedback sharing enforced in the company. Before being fired, I had only one session with my manager raising concerns after 4 weeks of everything being nice and good; - No support from HR exists in the company. HRBPs are in general very junior, not accessible and will only care about the management side of the story.
