I applied directly to their careers page. The recruiter reached out a few days later. He asked about my past experiences, shared with me more about Adyen's culture and his experience working there. He also briefed me on the next steps which I thought was nice. About two days later, I spoke with the team. It was a nice convesation where we got into the more technical stuff - projects etc. They were very friendly and answered all my questions. It was a frutiful discussion. About three hours after the team round, I received a hackerrank challenge. Found it to be interesting but I felt I didn't do too well on the test and this was confirmed during the skills interview. Nonetheless, the team gave me constructive feedback and shared where I was lacking. Overall, I am grateful for the opportunity and although I did not make it through, I still found the experience to be a positive one. Word of advice: Do your homework on their culture, read up a little about their products and be prepared to provide concrete examples during the interviews.
