Pros

Adyen is a great place to work for a few reasons: - great product - huge amount of autonomy - great work/life balance - great people and culture

Cons

Many of the things that make Adyen great are also a double edged sword: - lack of processes (even in performance reviews) leads to high degrees of subjectivity - large middle management bottleneck (people who got promoted into people leaders as the company grew OR external managers with 0 payments knowledge) - it is a very comfortable place to work, which leads to a good chunk of people idly sitting in their roles comfortably with no aspirations of progession - it is not a place where you will quickly progress up the career ladder (if at all) - there is a large undercurrent of 'coffee chat' politics - leans on company culture + work/life balance in exchange for competitive salaries

Four Rounds of Interviews with no offer

Pros

Salary was high and perks were enticing.

Cons

I went through a first round of interviews and was not given the job. Then, I was contacted by recruiters a month later to interview for another position. I went though four rounds of interviews c getting past the final one, then was told in a zoom call I did not get the position. When given the reason I was passed, the recruiter told me it was something on my resume that had never once been brought up or asked about by the 7 people I spoke with at Adyen. Very unprofessional and rude to waste the time of someone they picked to come interview.
