Where to begin. The recruiter aired personal life grievances in initial call. Second call with hiring manager was canceled and rescheduled to 7 a.m. which was outside of the times I requested. Then there was an odd case study that may have been missing some key words in the prompt as the person I presented it to seemed a little confused. The person I presented the case study to didn't quite seem to have interviewed or hired anyone before. They abruptly interrupted halfway through the presentation and felt a key point was unnecessary, leaving me to scramble through the rest of the presentation leaving that detail out. A week later, I received a voicemail of rejection. I understand in their formula, picking up the phone and calling is important, but not having a paper trail is detrimental especially after putting 5 or more hours into everything for these interview already.

Question 1
"What formulas spoke to you the most." seemed to be a common question.
I applied online. I interviewed at Adyen (Chicago, IL)
Interview
Don't interview here unless you have two months to spare and are willing to endure about seven rounds of interviews. I know people who have made it to the very end just to be rejected. And the same happened to me last year. They'll even show you where you'll sit.
Do not waste your time interviewing with this company. The interview process is extremely long, time-consuming, and insulting. There's no reason a company should put you through a 6-7 round interview process for a role. You would think you're interviewing to be a Director. They want you to do assignments that don't even properly explain what they are looking for, ask you questions during the interview to trip you up, etc. I got to pretty much the end of the interview process and answered the in-person interview confidently and delivered well. I had the experience and all. The recruiter will tell you in the beginning the process will only take 2-4 weeks. It's a lie. Be prepared to interview for at least a month and a half to two. This company acts as if they are the only company in the world and on top of that, the only Fintech company out there. Again, I will never apply and interview with this company again. No, thank you!
