I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Adyen (Amsterdam) in Nov 2021
Interview
Five step procedure, a lot of flexibility around dates. The procedure starts with a programming test. Then, this is the basis for the second interview. Rest of the interviews were mostly focused on my previous experiences.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you design a globally unique identifier?
I applied the position which aligns with my experience via Adyen's application platform with referral program. My referrer answered their questions carefully, however then I got rejection via email without feedback. I was expecting from them to be clear what's the reason.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Based on the job description, which required skills does this person have?
Pretty standard in tech company in NL. This what was the recruiter told me:
- Apply through job portal
- Recruiter call
- Tech interviews
- Offer
I failed after some interviews and no feedback despite asking
Eliminated at Recruiter screening, apparently I did not answer what the recruiter wanted to hear exactly, they come with a script that they read and I suppose your answer is also written in the script, fail to say the keywords and they elimnate you.
Recruiter clearly was on a rush and did not even explain next steps properly.
