I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Adyen (São Paulo, ) in Mar 2023
Interview
O processo é composto por 5 etapas. A primeira sendo uma entrevista básica com devs para te conhecerem, a segunda uma prova com 3 desafios (algoritmos, banco e backend), a terceira uma entrevista técnica com tech leads, que vão questionar um pouco sobre a prova que você fez, além de saber um pouco da sua experiência e algumas situações como você resolveria. A quarta etapa é uma entrevista com o VP de engenharia, que embora eu tenha "passado" na terceira etapa não aconteceu. Recebi um email igual das outras etapas falando que passei para a quarta etapa e um link para agendar a entrevista com o VP. Agendei e quando chegou o dia, entrei na sala de reunião, fiquei esperando por 15 minutos e ninguém entrou. Resolvi mandar mensagem para o recrutador terceiro que havia me oferecido a vaga e ele também não sabia o que houve e foi ver com o pessoal da adyen. Depois ele me retornou dizendo que eles resolveram não continuar o processo comigo. Embora eu tenha passado na etapa anterior, de uma hora para outra resolveram não continuar e nem ao menos me avisaram que mudaram de ideia.

first step is a call with HR to align on experience and expectations, then an online coding assessment on Hackerrank of which I believe you need to answer everything perfectly to go to the next step

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Adyen in Feb 2026
Interview
Initial step was a 30 min screening call with someone from HR. They were very friendly. First time I didn't pass a screening call in years, make sure to study the 8 company values on their website beforehand.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Adyen (Madrid) in Nov 2025
Interview
Madrid: good technical process, but POOR communication and lack of closure after final interview
Pros:
* The recruitment process is technically good and well-structured in its early stages.
* The initial assessment consisted of a HackerRank technical evaluation with a programming exercise focused on performance, object-oriented design, and three SQL questions, which felt relevant and fair.
* This was followed by a technical interview discussing the assessment results and deeper system/design topics.
* I also had a hiring manager interview and a technical leadership interview, both of which were professional and engaging.
* Throughout most of the process, the recruiter was very responsive, usually replying within 48 hours.
Cons:
* After completing the final interview, communication abruptly stopped;
* I attempted multiple follow-ups via email and phone without receiving any response.
* Only after reaching out to one of the technical leaders I had interviewed with did the recruiter reply, stating she would call — but that call never happened, and communication stopped again.
* The lack of closure after reaching the final stage felt unprofessional and inconsistent with Adyen’s publicly stated values around transparency, ownership, and respect.
