Applied online without a referral. Next, I was invited to the first round with two of their product designers. We had a nice conversation about my work experience and the types of projects I've delivered. Next, I was invited to complete a design project but it was postponed due to a hiring freeze. Communication with recruitment wasn't great and I lost interest in the role.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Adyen (Madrid) in Sep 2024
Interview
I noticed a lack of communication within the team during the interview process.
The interviewer was 10 minutes late in the first interview, and I had to wait on mute without explanation, making the start a bit clumsy. Additionally, I felt the interviewer was rushed and ended the call abruptly.
After a few days and several issues regarding updates for the second interview, I was informed that a recruiter was involved in the process. The first call with the recruiter was awkward and rude.
Furthermore, the essential information needed for the skills assessments in the third interview stage was not provided or mentioned during a previous phone call with the recruiter, making it difficult to fully prepare with only 10 minutes to read the brief and give my best.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Adyen (Madrid)
Interview
1. Screening call with the recruiter,
2. Technical interview with PM and PD,
3. Case study review and whiteboard challenge.
Overall experience talking to the recruiter and the interviewers was fine but if a candidate has spent 4 hours talking to the interviewers and hours preparing for the interviews, least Adyen should have done is to provide personalised feedback for the rejection. Received an automated email that Adyen have rejected my application,. I approached the recruiter and one of the hiring manager personally to ask for feedback but they just ghosted me. Hiring managers should value candidates time.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Adyen (Madrid) in May 2024
Interview
The process begins with an email from the recruiter to schedule the first interview.
The first interview starts with an introduction to Adyen, followed by a few questions related to your experience.
Next, you will receive an email to schedule the second interview.
The second interview involves two people: a Product Manager and a Product Designer based in their main office in Amsterdam. They will ask about their formula and a few shallow questions about your experience.
If you do not meet their expectations, you will receive an automated rejection email without an explanation.
