I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Adyen in Feb 2025
Interview
The interview process was structured, professional, and intellectually engaging—consisting of four rounds: a recruiter screen, a technical interview, a 30-minute presentation with technical Q&A, and a final behavioral interview with senior leadership.
Each step assessed both technical skill and stakeholder management ability, and the expectations were clear throughout.
However, after the final interview, communication broke down. Despite positive signals and my proactive follow-ups, I was informed of the rejection only after multiple reminders—and even then, no concrete feedback was shared. It was disappointing to experience such a sharp drop in communication quality after investing significant time and effort. A company expecting operational excellence in applicants should hold its candidate experience to the same standard.
starts with a check-in with recruiter, then fit interview with one team member, then technical interview with two team members, then offer. Process took 1 - 2 months. recruiter is well accessible.
Long interview process (5 or 6 rounds) ending with an interview with someone from the Board.
Interviewers are looking to assess the candidate potential fit with Adyen, but interviews are very conversational.
First interview with HR was pretty normal. The second interview was with a team member who looked like he didn't care at all. There were no technical questions, all questions were related to my experience so it was difficult to fail. After that, I received a rejection without even a technical interview.
This position is always open and it has been open for years, doesn't seem like they're hiring at all.
