I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Adyen (Amsterdam) in May 2019
Interview
Screening round with two developers, codility task, technical interview which I failed to pass. and more after that.
Be prepared to questions like "Describe the project you are proud of" (be prepared to talk a lot about it), "What are your strength and weaknesses", "Why did you choose Adyen" (this one actually can be asked multiple times on each stage :)

Question 1
SQL query optimizations, encryption basics, hash-function hashmap vs treemap etc.
Pretty smooth experience, recruiter was very good, 5 rounds in total, online test, screening, DSA, system Design, leadership discussion, global leadership round, which was with CTO of adyen,so great overall
I applied the position which aligns with my experience via Adyen's application platform with referral program. My referrer answered their questions carefully, however then I got rejection via email without feedback. I was expecting from them to be clear what's the reason.
