Pros & Cons
Adyen
- Smart, humble colleagues with high standards and a market-leading payments product
- Good work-life balance with trust-based culture, free lunch, and international team trips
- Below-market compensation (~20% less than peers) with poor stock options
- Middle management quality issues as company scaled — inexperienced managers and internal politics
Doctolib
- Mission-driven colleagues who genuinely care about improving healthcare access
- Strong growth opportunities with flexible remote policy and decent benefits
- Management can be heavy-handed — uses company principles as weapons against feedback
- French-centric culture makes it harder for non-French speakers to advance
Bottom Line
Adyen
Adyen's engineering culture is well-regarded in fintech — principled, WLB-conscious (4.1/5), and technically rigorous — but expect a methodical Amsterdam-centric culture rather than a high-growth startup vibe.
Doctolib
Genuine social mission (digitizing healthcare access for millions) with a fast-shipping culture, but at 3,500 people reviews cite organizational change fatigue and management inconsistency.
