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.”

We are in a fast-changing landscape, and our product process reflects that. We launch fast and then we iterate until we get it right.
