Pros

People are friendly, prefer to call are chat instead of e-mails, good onboarding program. Most people seem to really like their job and colleagues.

Cons

I decided to write this seeing the new review "Dont believe the hype. Be careful." in which everything I read sound like something I noticed or experienced in my first two months. The only possible conclusion I can draw from what I observe is that Adyen overhires people and uses probation period as a casting to observe you, give no guidance or feedback and see who swims and who sinks, so be really careful and think twice before you decide to quit your job for Adyen. Feedback is non-existent, people will assure you with a fake smile that everything is going well, and if something is wrong they will only tell your manager. The managers I dealt with lacked basic knowledge how to lead a team, coach new team members or give feedback. The 'create your own path' part of the formula is how they justify poor management skills, lack of training and feedback. The interpersonal parts of the formula that could not be stressed more during the interviews are non-existent. I regret ignoring all the negative reviews I have read here. The politics, fakeness, poor management and outdated tools used by developers are real and make this company a really bad place to be. + Low salary and no bonus

Pros

- Very less politics. - People are friendly. - Good work-life balance. - Good salary - A lot of good merchants/clients.

Cons

- Legacy codebase. Some people are trying to change things but it feels like the leadership is not focused on code quality at all. - Whenever you want to try something new, security team would intervene and you would have to justify everything you are doing. This makes it very difficult to try and learn new things. - The learning depends on the stream lead. While some stream leads are really good, some stream leads just do not focus on team's learning at all. - Everyone works on one branch, master. Need I say more!

Pros

Great product. Cool low level people. Good opportunities if you can play the politics game.

Cons

Inexperienced managers. Politics at higher level. Not meritocratic. Discriminatory towards females in tech. People seem to magically disappear when they do not agree with management. Lack of transparency from higher management including the board.
