I applied in-person. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Adyen (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2020
Interview
Interview process feels very inconsistent, involves multiple separate steps that don’t seem to be connected. After two phone screens, I was invited to come onsite but instead of making a decision afterwards, I was told that I’ll need to talk to three senior leaders before they can decide. Everyone at Adyen was friendly and approachable but it also felt like interviewers do not coordinate who is covering what and it felt awkward being asked the same questions by different interviewers after four rounds of interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why this position? Why Adyen? What about the culture? Tell me about a difficult manager you worked with and other box standard q’s..
I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Adyen (Amsterdam) in Mar 2025
Interview
Straight forward, clear, kind people. Clear structure to the interviewprocess. Within the first intake i felt welcome, and the questions where objectively good. Liked the enthousiasm. Think its a great place to work.
I had the interview scheduled however the recruiter did not show up for the interview. I tried sending messages over Linkedin and Email however I had no answer up to today(weeks later).
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Adyen in Oct 2022
Interview
Weird process.
I applied for the position through Linkedin, but I didn't hear back.
Days later, a recruiter sent me an invitation for an interview via email, and I set up a meeting to talk a few days later. We talked for about 45 minutes, and at the end she asked about my salary expectations, and if I was available to work 3x a week in the office and 2x at home.
At the end she also described how the next steps would be if I was approved: a technical interview with people from Holland, a case study, a conversation with the HR leader and an interview with the CEO.
She told me that there would be a debriefing panel that week, so the feedback would come by the date of this panel.
Exactly 15 minutes after the interview I received a negative feedback of few lines, one of those generic ones.
I asked the recruiter if it was her or the team, since I had also applied via Linkedin and never got an answer. I found it disrespectful in relation to my time and a bad candidate experience.
