Toxic beyong comprehension - Anonymous employee Adyen Employee Review

Majority of managers are yesterday’s students whose first real job is Adyen, therefore, you will receive a lot of wrong opinions and baseless condescending pushbacks rather than adequate discussion and process updates. Inner circle is promoting their friends just based on same country of origin and amount of alcohol consumed together during the weekend. Hierarchy, like nowhere else, cult-ish and arrogant. HR is the worst I ever had to deal with in my over 20 years of employment history. They simply don’t know what they are doing, the country’s policies, while behaving very condescending. Sexist and insulting feedbacks are very common in Amsterdam office. Abuse and bullying are justified by calling it “the dutch way”. No quality assurance in many departments, no career progression and all capable and smart people left the company already, or are on their way out. Students are being used as a main workforce in some departments, which makes everything extremely backwards and chaotic, and adding workload to experienced (mostly underpaid) staff. No promised work-life balance, as you will be pushed to go to office to justify investments of the CEOs. Low amount of vacation days compared to the competitors.
