Pros

- Strong internal culture (Adyen Formula): It encourages people to think and act like entrepreneurs. There are few processes, which keeps us lean and accountable. Though for some, this can feel like a lack of guidance and be disorienting at first. - Great support from senior sales management: They’re always available and open to discussion. While focused on results, they’re also patient and understand that success takes time. In a fast-changing environment, they adapt their management style to support the team. - Strong cross-office relationships: Collaboration with colleagues across different countries and offices is a real strength. But you need to actively build your internal network to benefit from it. - Great perks: Delicious lunches and snacks, plus a beautiful office environment.

Cons

- Time difference with Amsterdam HQ can make coordination tricky. - The brand isn’t yet widely known in the U.S, but visibility is improving quickly.
