Pros

Most empathetic, intelligent and passionate people you will ever work with. I am pushed to be the best version of myself both professionally and personally every day. No hierarchy/bureaucracy - everybody is willing to pitch in and get their hands dirty You can make what you will with your role. Opportunity to work with the most innovative and interesting companies of our time Incredible healthcare plans 3+ Trips to Amsterdam headquarters of year Truly global company with enormous potential Kind, thoughtful leaders who care about your happiness and professional development

Cons

- This would be a hard environment if you really enjoy structure and being told how to perform/what to do. I personally thrive in it. - Many critical roles are based out of Amsterdam ( headquarters), but that's slowly shifting.

Great teamwork with little management overhead

Pros

There is very little management overhead for my daily or even weekly work. You quickly learn to make good choices yourself and how to carefully balance interests of all parties. When I started working here, I was involved in relatively important projects almost from the start. This helped me gain a lot of experience quickly, which every day proves to be more essential. A lot of knowledge is shared, and apart from people actually being busy, there are little to no barriers to asking questions and getting help. There is also time to study different aspects of financial technology and what our merchants use. Taking time for this is really never frowned upon ( although projects, live merchants should take priority ). Compensation is reasonable and are dependent on the amount of initiative you take with new clients and projects. Depending on your role and initiative, a lot of travelling can be involved for visiting merchants and partners. This is great if you are able to have effective meetings, and really can help you learn about different industries. Merchants are often keen to showcase their product as well.

Cons

The main down side is that, at times, the independence required from your character can be a lot, or may be unclear. It takes confidence to come forward about mistakes you've made. It really is the only way to find out where you could have made a decision myself directly, or when you should have involved other people. Listening closely to experienced colleagues, and taking time to learn about the systems and regulations of this industry helps a lot to avoid making the sort of mistakes that get you fired. How much this job takes differs from time to time, and depending on your role it can take a lot to achieve big success. So this is not a normal 9 to 5 job ( Adyen in general is clear about this ). So plan on learning and growing as much as possible within this company, instead of trying to do 2 things at once. Running your own business is forbidden as well because of the conflict of interest occur. It depends on your attitude and living situation ( family, health ) if these are a negative aspects, but it would be good to take this into consideration before starting working here.
