I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Adyen (London, England) in Jul 2020
Interview
I made it to the final round.
During the last stage, they required me to prepare a 10-15 minute pitch and they sent me a document containing information and pain points that I should have made sure to address during the pitch. The interview calendar invite was named: Sales Manager-PITCH.
Once I finished pitching, one of the hiring manager told me that a pitch was not what they were expecting. Of course, I was quite confused and I replied that I did exactly what they had asked me to (in just a couple of days); at that point, the same manager could not really say anything and finished the interview by saying "we'll let you know by tomorrow".
After more than one week, I received an automatic email saying that they were grateful I gave them the chance to review my CV, however, my experience did not match...
UNBELIEVABLE.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General questions about experience, personality and then the pitch.
Impressed by the depth of the hiring process and the quality of questions from senior management. They really go deep. You can’t fake what you don’t know. It’s refreshing (and reassuring) to see how committed they are to hiring the right people.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are the 2 or 3 key indicators that tell you you’re moving in the right direction within a sales cycle?
What information do you need to assess whether your sales cycle is truly solid?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Adyen (Singapore) in Apr 2025
Interview
Call with recruiter, then hiring manager with two other stakeholders and then panel style interview which was face to face. Friendly recruiter but all other interviewers were cold including hiring manager. Try not to be put off... I think that's just their style and likely just a Singapore office culture thing than company culture.
Processo com cinco diferentes etapas. Primeiro será necessário envio de currículo atualizado em inglês, posteriormente entrevista com RH, depois de aprovado será realizada entrevista com gestor da vaga, e na quarta etapa haverá entrevista com pares, finalizando a quinta etapa será apresentação de case específico para demonstrar habilidades comerciais, especialmente negociações.
