Strong, engaging culture. Truly global company
Pros
High trust, high empowerment work culture. Look up the Adyen Formula, it makes for a great company culture. I'm treated like an adult and trusted to do my job when/how I see fit. Minimal management layer means high transparency and plenty to do for everyone. No micromanaging, everyone is too busy for that. No noticeable politicking, clean org structure with transparent ownership. Company is truly global, not siloed across the globe. All of us regularly work with colleagues in other regions, and, in non-Covid times, we are encouraged to travel frequently to see international colleagues.
Cons
This is a Pro for me, but could be a Con for others: High degree of personal responsibility for everyone -- being as flat of an org as we are means there aren't places to hide. It's clear what you own and if you're doing it well. Adyen doesn't seek to be best-in-class for pay. Few roles get year-end bonuses.
