I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Adyen
Interview
I interviewed for 2 different jobs. For the first job, the recruiter reached out to me, scheduled me for an initial interview with the hiring manger, and then cancelled the interview minutes before it was scheduled to start. For the second job, I spoke with another manager on the team for the first round, was asked to put together a case study presentation for the next round. After putting in a significant amount of time prepping, the interview was cancelled again. If you are interviewing at Adyen, I would try to get a good sense for where they are in the interview process and what their timeline is for hiring so you don't waste time preparing for interviews that will never happen.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked to walk through my resume and talk about skills that I have that are relevant to the job description.
Had an on site and was asked to describe 3 strengths and weaknesses in each past job. The interviewer also confronted my answers, and treated the interview like a robotic process. It was like a Q&A with the interviewer taking notes. It was incredibly rude and disrespectful.

I applied online. I interviewed at Adyen (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2020
Interview
I agree with the comment from October 2020 that it was a waste of time. I also found that the interviewers weren't diverse. It is too bad since one of the company's guidelines is "We include different people to sharpen our ideas." (Be wary of a company like Adyen that pretends to care but the reality is a white boys/girls club.) If you are a minority, you are better off somewhere else. Don't waste your time.
