Pros

Can't think of anything that is worth mentioning, But there is a lot of interesting stuff happening outside of the India office.

Cons

Lots of old timers who have to be fired. The team lead in India is a bully and is absolutely impossible to work with. Not sure how that person is still employed. This shows how the company operates. Basically nurturing bullies and incompetent people. Adyen India business is not growing, thanks to the great leadership team. Please do yourself a favor and stay away from this company. As mentioned by others, most of the reviews are fake written by HR.
