I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Adyen (Amsterdam) in Jun 2019
Interview
Utmost nonsensical application process ever. You are asked to complete a few tests (~3h) that are quite easy for everyone with decent programming skills. After that, you are invited for an interview in which you discuss what you did with two interviewers that not even educated in the field of software engineering. You can be outstanding and exactly what they want in terms of skills and have a great, positive and energetic character and even then they might reject your application based on one question at the end of a 45 minute interview with which they assume an entire character. The question is not even one that reflects a character or a set of skills. Their justification after for the rejection is basically a bunch of wild unjustified assumptions about your character that they felt were reflected in the interview. Even though you might be perfect for the job, a wild guess about your character is enough for them to reject the entire application process. What a joke. Just looking for a sec though the CV or just asking would prove them otherwise but no, let's just go with our wild instinct

Why did you go with that implementation? How can you improve it?
Pretty smooth experience, recruiter was very good, 5 rounds in total, online test, screening, DSA, system Design, leadership discussion, global leadership round, which was with CTO of adyen,so great overall
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.
