The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Adyen (Ámsterdam) in Sep 2024
Interview
Adyen's employee has reached out to me regarding a position I might be interested in. I was, and then we had a quick 30-minutes chat to talk about adyen, about the role and how my experience might fit into it. It was a normal, adequate dialogue. Then, I had a cultural fit interview with the team, and we discussed adyen, position itself, adyen formula, and how I understand it. The team was collaborative, we had a great chat.

Question 1
Expertise in SQL / Python
How to manipulate data using SQL / Python
Interviewed with Adyen for almost a month, went through 4 rounds of interviews (including an hour-long case study). Before the final round they told me they would not be moving forward due to a surface level conversation. Taking an entry level position through 5+ rounds to let them go after everything seemed a bit ridiculous and harsh to me. I probably spent 20+ hours researching, studying and understanding the company to interview well. I was told my case study was excellent and they moved forward with me after but during the last round (after 3 previous rounds) they thought it was "too surface level."
