I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Adyen in Aug 2024
Interview
6 rounds:
- Recruiter talk
- Culture fit
- Hackerrank challenge
- Technical discussion
- Team lead interview
- Director interview
All rounds went well (only positive feedback). And in half an hour the Director decides I was not positive enough and kicked me out the process. Typically a tech company that thinks the American way is the right way and gives you an extra kick after.
As usual, directness is praised only in thought not in reality, advise to future candidates keep smiling.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
For the hackerrank challenge just download the code (as in a git project), the online editor is terrible.
It was okay. They rejected me at the technical team interview. Because my profile didn't match. I am exp in data engineer+mlops. They wanted more on data engineer side and not with infra background.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Adyen in Jul 2025
Interview
The interview process at Adyen is very long and disorganised for what it is. The different people seem nice but at the end the process is tedious and will take months. First there is a call with the recruiter. There is a high chance the recruiter will never respond to you after the interview or you will be reassigned to a different recruiter. If they like you, you will move on to a technical interview with some randomly assigned people from a similar backround/role as you, who will decide if you can continue. Then follows a timed Hackerrank assesement to waste your whole day, along another 2 hours of presentation of that work on another day. As if that's not enough, there is yet another technical interview with potential team mates. Last but not least, beware of the final interview with a senior business member. Do not take it lightly as they might decide from a 30 minute call that you are not good enough to join the club.

Question 1
What challenges did you face in your previous role
The interview process was not good, since the recruiter not even asked about my introduction. Also, her questions were not good in terms of evaluation of the candidate. She sent some instructions before the interview to prepare but that is not useful.
