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.

Pros

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!

Cons

The aforementioned flat structure leads to a lack of formally defined leadership positions, so those looking for a more traditional path of individual contributor --> manager --> director may not find what they're looking for here.
