Pros

The systems are well-built (if eccentric), the coffee is good and the colleagues are all very, very smart, nice and motivated. It's possible to get things done in weeks or months, as opposed to years (especially compared to other companies). The atmosphere **seems** really nice. The compensation is good and the office is also pretty nice.

Cons

There are a TON of politics going on underneath the surface that the naive and junior members simply don't see. If you end up getting anywhere near this -- or end up irritating some of the senior/"inner circle" people, prepare to experience some very cold shoulders and very, very nasty politics. There are basically 3 groups at Adyen: the board, the technical/sales "old guard" and another group who is somewhat newer and trying to change Adyen. Not all of the board/direction seems to know what's actually happening on the workfloor. Lastly, working at Adyen will not help your technical career, especially if you stay for longer than 3 years. While there is some innovation, the technical old guard has been doing things the same way for the last 10 years and is not prepared to change. Staying at Adyen for more than 3 years means that you've been paid very well for 3 years but have lost 2 years of your career. Turnover is very high, by the way. It seems like roughly 1-4 people quit or is fired every month.

Pros

Best company I’ve ever worked for. Amazing culture, great people, feels like a family. So many benefits- free lunch, wear what you want, beers in the fridge (!), constant supply of fruit/snacks. You are given so much trust & autonomy to build your own business/pipeline you are desperate to repay that trust. Flexible working- can work from home the odd day a week if you need too. Lots of young intelligent people in the company with a desire to make a positive impact on the organisation. Unbelivable company parties! Very few egos in the company, senior staff very approachable as well as our C-Level suite. Best product in the payments market by far- Adyen continue to disrupt an industry full of outdated legacy technology, which was previously dominated by the traditional banks. Adyen continue to innovate. Little politics, people talk straight and pick up the phone- email culture is discouraged! Success is also driven via great teamwork & working in teams to achieve is encouraged as well as sharing responsibility.

Cons

Communication within the company and across departments could sometimes be better. But it is improving. Training for new starters could improve- not much structure and very much learn on the job/ask your colleagues. I understand processes are being put in place to improve this.
