Expectation vs. Reality
There’s no such thing as a typical day
People expect engineers to spend 40 hours a week coding on their computers. But the reality at Adyen is much different — their time is mostly spent discussing ideas or tech that can be applied to current problems. “When you have talented engineers, everyone has an opinion on how to solve problems,” Bravo said. “But this ensures we sharpen our ideas to provide the best product.” Bravo’s team typically partners with a launch customer so they can receive immediate feedback on a product. “We are not a company that will have kick-off meetings or more meetings to get the perfect product out there.”

Vice President, Marketing
Teamwork is a core value at Adyen. It's a priority for Visinet, who includes her team in planning and decision-making. “It’s important for me to share strategic insight with my team and to bring our work back to the big picture,” Visinet said. The marketing team works cross-functionally, and they organize brainstorming sessions, co-build a marketing roadmap and analyze results as a group. As a leader, Visinet encourages a strong feedback culture so they can celebrate success and identify ways to grow. It’s part of her effort to empower and coach her team on their growth, potential and skills.
