What It's Like to Work at Adyen

I always feel encouraged to speak up, ask questions, and share a solution. I am not restricted to just sit in front of a screen and program; I interact with product managers, account managers, tech support, and pricing analysts to the point where I can put myself in their shoes and understand their perspectives and issues as well.

The best thing about working at Adyen is the people. I think this is through a combination of prioritizing hiring smart, capable people, but also through creating and supporting a culture where those people are given the trust and flexibility to do their best work, and genuinely encouraging those people to connect.

People genuinely make time for you, even across time zones. Many little things make Adyen special, from team-building trips/events to knowledge-sharing sessions. It's a place where you can do meaningful work, learn from amazing people, and still have room to breathe.

I’m incredibly grateful for a culture that encourages us to embrace new opportunities. We're encouraged to step up, get out of our comfort zones and grow!

This role has pushed me to grow both as a leader and as an engineer. Professionally, I’ve expanded my skills in strategic thinking, team management, and cross-functional collaboration, while staying hands-on with development.

Working at Adyen has pushed me to grow both professionally and personally. The pace and critical thinking here have challenged me to develop sharper judgment, prioritize better, and become more confident in my decision-making. As a team lead, it's been rewarding to help shape and scale the org.

What sets Adyen apart is how tangible the company values are; they are not just words on a wall, but how we operate daily. We truly build trust by empowering every team member to make good choices and create their own path.

There are so many talented engineers here with a true passion for development, and there are plenty of opportunities to learn from them. I’ve learned from the engineers in Chicago, but also from those I've met in Amsterdam and from all over the world.
