What is the salary like at Adyen?

- Talented and driven people who will inspire you and challenge you - Good pay, benefits, and perks, especially for junior positions

- After its hypergrowth, the culture has inevitably become corporate = numbers first, people last in many ways - Lots and lots of silos and tacky/sticky middle management layer that could use some serious coaching - Office politics and blatant favoritism

Great salary, good environment, good work life balance

Organizational structure could be improved

Average pay, good job flexibility and culture.

Leadership is all European. Business leaders sit in Europe while making decisions for American market. Incentive to stay at company fades very very quickly from a monetary basis.

salary was not bad, plenty of opportunities to have meals paid by the company

toxic environment, judging people only based on gossip.

competitive salary, great benefits, good work-life balance

still transitioning from a big company to a very big company, which at times brings a bit of hecticness

As a developer, the company is a good company to work with. No micro management, it can get stressful at times and the load of responsibilities is high but overall it’s good. Offices are nice, and people are also ok to work with. The culture is still good as of 2025. It’s a fulfilling job and it pays market price.

No remote work (only 40 days per year as of 2025) and most of teams do 3 days a week at the office (not necessarily a disadvantage). We get a nice bonus that makes our salary looks nicer, but it’s a bonus and can the taken out at any time. No bonus as per the company yearly performance. Performance based salary increases are very hard to get, you have to realllyyyy exceed expectations to not get the minimum raise (like inflation raise).

travel opportunities, good product, reputable name, some benefits such as paid lunch in office

management, leadership, working culture, lack of DEI, politics, salary, lack of progression

good salary, good work life balance

outdated tech, everything is very slow

Young -> open to compromises due to parenthood but these policies are still developing Dynamic Good benefits A lot is done in-house so there is much for you to do, develop (e.g., code), and learn The communication is great and the linking between teams and departments is too - you are never isolated unless you want to be International and open Offers Dutch language courses Offers opportunities to travel for work Plentiful opportunities for students and graduates

The salary is a bit below that offered by the competition and the (allegedly) founder is quite resistant to such discussions.

Adyen offers a beautiful, modern office space that is well-designed and comfortable to work in. The company also provides free food, snacks, and drinks, which is a nice perk for employees during the workday. On top of that, the salaries are competitive, and the company’s overall mission and technology are innovative, which can make it an attractive option for people looking for a fast-paced, tech-driven environment.

If you value your mental health, career, or basic human decency, stay far away from Adyen’s Customer Risk Review Team. My time here was nothing short of traumatic, and I’m writing this to warn anyone considering joining this team about the blatant misconduct and toxic culture that Adyen not only allows, but actively fosters. I was sexually harassed by a team member, and when I reported it to the team lead, I expected action or at the very least, support. Instead, I was let go. Let that sink in—the victim of harassment gets punished, while the perpetrator faces no consequences. This isn’t just negligence; it’s an outright cover-up. Adyen’s leadership in this department is more concerned with protecting their image than protecting their employees from harm. But it gets worse. The team lead didn’t stop at incompetence; he also showed truly disgusting favouritism. When a female working student threatened to leave, instead of letting her go, he grossly overpaid her, handing her a NextGen salary she clearly didn’t qualify for. Why? Not because of her skills or contributions, but because he was desperate to keep her around at all costs. This is the kind of disturbing and unprofessional behaviour that thrives in the Customer Risk Review Team. There is zero accountability here. The incompetence runs so deep within the company that even HR is complicit in turning a blind eye. Reporting serious issues like harassment doesn’t result in investigations; it results in retaliation and dismissal. Adyen would rather silence victims than deal with predators within their own ranks. It’s beyond shameful—it’s despicable. Management at Adyen needs a complete overhaul, starting with the immediate removal of the unethical, cowardly leaders who enable and encourage this kind of reprehensible behaviour. These individuals aren’t just incompetent—they’re actively complicit in creating and maintaining a toxic environment that protects predators and punishes victims. Adyen must stop sweeping these problems under the rug and start addressing the deep-rooted issues of harassment and gross misconduct that are prevalent within the company. My advice? If you’re considering a job at Adyen, stay far away from the Customer Risk Review Team. This team is a cesspool of toxicity, and if you have the courage to speak up, you’ll be mistreated, unsupported, and ultimately discarded. This team is an absolute disaster, and no one should have to endure what I did.
