I was approached directly by Adyen, had the first call with the recruiter then with a senior AM and a middle east amanger, the typical questions which was answered thoroughly and carefully, the following day received a decline template without any explanation or reasoning.

If you’re an older “White Passing” straight male from the US don’t bother for a role in unified commerce. Resentful DEI and insecure L-1 Visa middle management gatekeepers made this an increasingly negative experience. Interviewer in round 3 (of 6) clearly had it out for me. Yet they continued to stretch things out. During this time I was down leveled without them informing me. In person case study presentation moved to Zoom and was sent the automated feedback for the completion of the interview process before I was even rejected. Despite 10+ years AM, SAM, and leadership experience at major companies that are their top clients. The people I engaged with seemed to hate their jobs more than their clients hate their products.
