How was the interview at Adyen?

Attractive Compensation Package: The salary and benefits offered were competitive and initially appealing. Comprehensive Recruitment Process: The hiring process included six interview stages, which seemed thorough and professional at the time. Opportunities for Self-Development: There was an expectation to improve technical skills, which encouraged personal growth (despite the eventual issues with unclear guidance).

Misleading Expectations: The recruitment team assured me of adequate time to adapt and grow within the role, but this promise was not upheld. Unclear Feedback: No constructive criticism or performance concerns were communicated before termination, leaving no opportunity to improve. Contradictory and Vague Termination Reasons: Reasons for termination such as “not fitting into the office” and “not enough time spent in the office” contradicted agreed-upon arrangements. Unprofessional Handling of Termination: The decision was made suddenly, without notice, and communicated in an abrupt manner during a one-on-one meeting, causing significant emotional distress. Lack of Communication Post-Termination: Despite sending two follow-up emails requesting clarification, the company ignored my attempts to seek feedback and explanation. Disregard for Employee Stability: Recruiting me from a stable position and terminating my employment after just one month left me in a precarious professional and financial situation, particularly close to the holiday season. Poor Onboarding Support: Instructions from the team lead were contradictory and seemed to serve as a “test,” rather than providing clear expectations and guidance for success. Unfair Treatment of Probation Period: The three-month probation period was cut short without justification, undermining the agreement made during hiring.

Salary was high and perks were enticing.

I went through a first round of interviews and was not given the job. Then, I was contacted by recruiters a month later to interview for another position. I went though four rounds of interviews c getting past the final one, then was told in a zoom call I did not get the position. When given the reason I was passed, the recruiter told me it was something on my resume that had never once been brought up or asked about by the 7 people I spoke with at Adyen. Very unprofessional and rude to waste the time of someone they picked to come interview.
