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
HubSpot
- Culture Code is legendary — transparency, autonomy, flexibility are real
- Remote-first done right with genuine work-life balance
- Enterprise sales culture can clash with engineering
- Comp below FAANG for senior roles
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.
HubSpot
Choose HubSpot if you want legendary culture with real flexibility and psychological safety — but comp is below FAANG.
