Pros

Good opportunity to learn. Flat corporate culture. Initiating your own project is encouraged. Great Lunch and Coffee Excellent Location in Amsterdam Fast Pace Industry A diverse group of people.

Cons

Task in Operational and Technical Support are repetitive. Too much independence is given to entry-level and junior staff. Custom-built software is prone to errors and counterproductive. A very forced work culture. Employees have to pretend to (' talk straight' and 'launch fast'). Alot of big egos and subtle politics. But this differs from team to team. New hires are given tasks with little context and guidance. Telling the staff that they are responsible for their own development is Adyen's way of not taking responsibility for proper training. Some teams lack chemistry and proper guidance form team leads.
