Pluspunten

Overall, I've had a really good experience at Adyen. Highly recommend working here, but only for those that are genuinely a good fit. Culture here is definitely unique, so working here is awesome for those that are a good fit, but could be challenging for those that aren't.

For example. Adyen pushes a significant amount of ownership to individuals, which is great for learning, growth, and taking on real responsibility, but not as good for people that aren't as self-sufficient or proactive.

Our business is very global - our customers, our company, our product, our mindset. Most people in the company do travel to some extent, whether to meet clients, to Amsterdam or other offices, or to conferences. Great for those interested in international business and travel.

Adyen also moves really quickly. There's constantly new information flying around, whether regarding a new local payment method, changing legal requirements in a country, new merchant needs, or new product launches. Definitely doesn't get boring here.

As context, I was a former customer. I really believe in the product, as Adyen was much better than other payments companies we worked with, hence making the change to join. Adyen has a ton of potential and is just scratching the surface of the global opportunity.

Pluspunten

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 Best product in the payments market by far- Adyen continue to disrupt an industry full of outdated legacy technology, which was previously dominated by the traditional banks.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.

Lots of new staff joining at the moment across the company as we continue to rapidly grow. Make sure we continue to hire on culture as well as talent. As the culture is one of the things that makes Adyen so great to work for!

Compensation.

Be honest with your employees.

Provide career growth opportunities on merit, not politics.

Bring more C-level executives to defuse the power vacuum.

HR - be honest, you seem to think you only serve the company.

Dissolve the ego, that is your threat to scale.

The reviewers who say there is nothing wrong are seriously delusional.
 You have to expect more out of the company you work for and spend more than half of your day.

Pluspunten

International company where everyone has a "roll up your sleeves and get it done" attitude
Employees have a lot of autonomy
Dutch culture of talking straight creates an open environment where feedback is encouraged and welcomed
Flat hierarchy, no middle management with easy access to President, COO, and SVPs
2-3 business trips to Amsterdam each year
Great work-life balance, taking time off is actually encouraged
...and most importantly- the product is fantastic!

Listen closely to employee feedback. Make sure we don't lose the culture as we scale.

This review is mostly specific to the New York office, but I've got only awesome things to say about the company overall.

I work with such an amazing group of hardworking, supportive individuals in the NY office. I've worked at several other companies in New York, and I've never felt so at home. From my first day, everyone made me feel welcome and appreciated.

Adyen is a global company with 700+ employees, but the New York team only has 20+ people and really feels like a family. We have the support of departments and teams all over the world, but we're also able to walk over and chat with every coworker in the office easily.

We're in a brand new office near Union Square with a roof deck, and they've done a great job of making the office a fun space to work in (shout out to our kombucha/cold brew coffee kegerator!).

We have monthly updates with Amsterdam HQ, and frequent catchups with our other US office in San Francisco. We even travel out to SF 3x a year to bring the entire US team together for workshops/speaker events/team outings. Each new employee gets to travel to Amsterdam for onboarding, and we have a full-company retreat in the Netherlands every year. The company prioritizes communication and collaboration, from the top down, and it really shows.

Continue doing what you're doing. Thank you for believing in your employees. Recruiting Team - Keep it up! You've hired a bunch of amazing people who really know how to make an impact. Let's all work together to keep the Adyen culture strong!

Pluspunten

Travelling is cool, you get to meet talented teammates and people in the company. You get the opportunity to try to take on projects even if you're not from the HQ (Amsterdam).

Empower your employees that aren't from Amsterdam. They too have the knowledge to help the company grow.

Lot of autonomy and a great company to work for. Amazing company culture (and love the food and the barista).

Pluspunten

Although more than 10 years old, Adyen still has a start-up feel to it. This is evident in all the typical tech start-up perks such as a barista and great lunches, but most importantly it is evident in the great culture. There is a no nonsense attitude where everyone keeps working for the good of the company instead of themselves and people remain approachable. This is in great part a result of the time and attention spent by senior management on preserving this atmosphere even though the company grew. My colleagues are fun to work with and really smart, which for me is perfect. I feel like there is a true meritocracy at Adyen.
