I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Adyen (Madrid) in Aug 2025
Interview
Las personas que me entrevistaron fueron bastante informales. Me preguntaron cosas específicas de la empresa y si no decía las palabras exactas que querían escuchar no les servía, cuando siempre dije que no tenía toda la expertise porque venía de otro sector. Desagradable que se escribían entre ellos por algún tipo de chat interno porque se notaba que lo hacían y se reían mientras duraba la entrevista. Al final, también se empezaron a reír cuando les hice un par de preguntas sobre el proceso y las posibilidades de crecimiento. Deberían elegir mejor a las personas que entrevisten, solo ejercer el rol no es suficiente para ese tipo de tarea.

Question 1
Como le explicaría a mi abuela lo que es Adyen?
Que pasa si un cliente no va go live en el plazo esperado?
I was contacted by two different recruiters regarding two positions I had applied for, and unfortunately neither experience was positive.
For the first recruiter screening, the recruiter joined the Zoom call a few minutes late and seemed disengaged throughout the conversation. Most of the questions were very basic, there were no meaningful follow-up questions, and it didn't feel like my responses were being actively listened to. The interview ended about 10 minutes earlier than scheduled.
The second experience was more frustrating. The recruiter did not show up for our scheduled screening call and emailed me about 20 minutes after the start time to say that her previous meeting had run over. We agreed to reschedule to next day and she confirmed the time with me. But on the day of interview, she sent a calendar invite for a different time without first checking my availability.
I understand that schedules can change and unexpected conflicts happen. However, after multiple issues with communication and scheduling, I felt the process was disrespectful of candidates' time. As a result, I chose to decline the invite.
Based on my experience, Adyen may want to invest more attention in recruiter communication, candidate engagement, and professionalism during the early stages of the hiring process.
Standard case study - gave me a scenario around a situation and I responded using the Adyen Formula. The process was designed to test the way you think and if you are able to embrace the Adyen formula. Knowledge and culture fit check.
Clear and good process, knew what to expect. Process stated like on the website. Friendly contact with recruiter, but could've been a bit more responsive. Was nice getting to know the colleagues/team so fast.
