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
Labelbox
- Competitive compensation and equity

- Rapid growth creates organizational churn
- Some teams move faster than others
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.
Labelbox
Choose Labelbox if you want to work on the data side of AI — labeling, evaluation, and training infrastructure used by frontier AI teams — with moderate SF-based intensity.
