I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Adyen in Sep 2020
Interview
The process took 4+ weeks. I had calls with six different people in the company and the interaction was absolutely pleasant. An amazing bunch of people, seemed geniune, humble and surely put in effort to get to know me. No cliche interview questions, no behavioral questions. Such a relief from usual monotony of interview style. The only weird thing is the communication regarding case study. They tell you in initial email that you are free to handle case study in any way you want. I picked a prospect client and planned a sales pitch scenario and let recruiter know in advance. But I got an email back from the recruiter saying choice of client is okay but I should prepare slides. So, I made a presentation with two key pain points of the client and how Adyen can help solve them. After the interveiw, their feedback was that they were expecting presentation to be simply about Adyen and not about solving client's pain points. I didn't understand how going an extra mile was viewed as a negative. The other feedback was that they were expecting it to be more interactive. I agree with that. I did screw up there. So, yes, overall seems like a good company and interesting interview process. While reading the other reviews here, it seems like the case study is a hit or a miss part, noone seems to clearly know what is expected in the case study. I wish I could provide more information but I was given only these two points as a feedback.

Interview
I completed four steps in the process, and overall, it was a very smooth and positive experience. The teams and individuals I interacted with were truly impressive, professional, and welcoming.
One area of concern, however, was the decision making structure. It appeared that the hiring decision was influenced by a large group of stakeholders rather than primarily by the hiring manager. This may lead to situations where strong interviews throughout the process are overshadowed if one person isn’t fully aligned, potentially altering outcomes. A more streamlined or clearly defined decision process could help improve finding the right candidate.

Interview
Sehr angenehmes Vorstellungsgespräch. Auch wenn es nicht geklappt hat, haben sie ein detailliertes Feedback gegeben, das ich für darauffolgende Gespräche genutzt habe. Der Prozess besteht aus 4 Runden und ich bin in die letzte Runde gekommen.

Interview
They want to make sure that you are a great fit so it’s a lengthy but positive interview process. I didn’t make it to the final interview. I did 4 interviews before I was notified that I didn’t get it. The recruiter/hr called and let me know that I wasn’t chosen to move forward. It was refreshing to see that they value everyone’s time during the process. I can tell this is a great company to work for!
