First, they rejected me by email, then they sent me an interview invitation. It was weird. After the interview, I couldn’t move forward, but at least HR gave me some useful feedback.
Hiring manager seems inexperienced, not a well structured interview. Felt uncomfortable and manager was on a power trip. Did not get a good feeling - would not like to work with this person and therefore decided not to follow through.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Adyen in Oct 2024
Interview
From the initial conversation, I came out of the interview with less clarity than I had coming in. The inability to answer fairly generic questions I had for the role was my biggest concern as most other interviewers would be able to answer them instantly. In addition, the way I was spoken to felt a little bit demeaning and the conversation seemed rushed. Generally was an easy conversation to be had, but was definitely one of the more unstructured discussions I’ve had in a while.
