Pros
- Work life balance is good. - Flexible working from home. - Close to the centraal station. - Okay-ish salary. - Agree with your manager all the time, make the platform unstable and you get promoted. - Emails and messages full of emojis.
Cons
- Ancient, unstable, outdated and slow monorepo. - Not Invented Here Syndrome to the extreme. - All technologies will have the "adyen" sour flavour so if you know something your knowledge will be worth nothing due to 500 extra steps required by the customisations. - Security will make sure you cannot use any tools you're used too. - Nice apple laptops will feel like an ancient machine. - You cannot disagree with your manager or you can get pipped. - Be prepared to be teaching "staff" engineers. - Postgres is the big hammer. Streaming? Postgres. Messaging? Postgres. Big data? Postgres. - Chat as a single source of truth. Basically this is a place for people who started to work at Adyen at the beginning of their careers without a clear vision of the market.
