1st round with manager - great interview, conversation.
2nd round - phone interview with Recruiter. Took forever to schedule with multiple cancellations on their end, without any notice. Recruiter also seemed to be unaware of answers to basic benefits questions.
3rd round - case study to be presented to 2 interviewers. Once again rescheduled with less than 12 hrs notice. Interview itself went okay. But process ended here.

Question 1
If we have issues post implementation, who do we contact?
Was supposed to have an interview with the recruiter but they never called. There was no confirmation of how or where the interview was going to take place. Just a time and date confirmation.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Adyen (Ámsterdam) in Apr 2022
Interview
Applied to the Project Operations Manager role via LinkedIn. The full interview process was going to be 5 steps but I only made it to 3.
1. Recruiter emailed booking system to schedule 1st interview w Team Lead. Was great and she was very friendly. Not too tough.
2. Another friendly interview with a team member. Very smart and sharp. Learned more about the role and, as she was explaining the role, she asked me for who I would believe were the key stakeholders from her story and what challenges you would face in the situation she described.
3. For the third round I needed to prepare a case and present (10-15min) where two team members would pretend being the client and ask me questions for another 15min. They have high expectations on your and you need to be ready to answer technical questions and problems that the merchant have and throw at you.
For the second part of this interview - the latter 30min, - was for them to interview me. Rather tough conversation and I was not able to give them any strong answers. Potentially because my brain was all fried from that tough case just beforehand. However, both friendly and easy to talk to.
Recruiter called me a few days later to tell me I did not move forward in the process and provided feedback on why (which I agree to and understand their decision).
Overall, a smooth process and friendly people. Especially the recruiter was pleasant to speak to and she guided me well though the process.
