Pros

Company has a good brand name. If you work for Adyen people will be impressed. One of the leaders in payments globally, with an amazing client base.

Cons

I've never worked in a company that moves so slowly, with seamingly clueless product leadership as to what goes on in the ground which is slow decline and lack of morale or motivation to work. The view seems to be that if you hire enough senior middle managers from Meta, Google, Uber etc things will move faster. The reality is: - The entire tech stack is not fit for rapid iteration - There is no data analytics function or data ownership/governance, meaning it is very hard to understand what is what - Features and products are not tracked in any way to understand their efficacy, no product analytics function - I have personally seen feature requests from clients that get brought up for over 3 years and never shipped - Multiple products half built and then killed. It is normal for basic UI changes to take 3-6 months to go live. - Meetings often contain 10-15 people in a room with no action items or follow ups seen through. - Engineering leadership is not up to date with the latest trends in AI nor upskilling themselves to modernise the tech stack.

Pros

International travel to Amsterdam, office food, peer group, quality engineering work.

Cons

Management team forces us to write public reviews which is unprofessional. During event in India where foreigner colleagues visited us someone from Indian leadership told us that he doesnt want to see us Indian peers standing together. This is unprofessional.

Pros

I genuinely appreciated the openness and the autonomy to make decisions in a new office - lean in on experience from the industry. This company has very smart people to work with which really makes you to do better day in day out. A culture where you own your growth, people value the contributions and mostly when you challenge the status quo. Of course it is not realistically possible that things go your way however, if you want to polish your personality and get better in whatever you are doing - THE PLACE

Cons

Depends on your role and contributions - I honestly felt I was contributing to the success in India and there was value. This place is not for everyone - you cant get away with doing bare minimum or not contributing. The bar is very high !!
