I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Adyen (Amsterdam) in May 2023
Interview
I apply online via LinkedIn for a position in Netherland. I got contacted in less than 5 working days by the HR and had a 30 mins call scheduled. Interview was on time but the interviewer doesn't seems to actually wanting to get to know the candidate. She doesn't go deep on the candidate, instead about how the candidate knows about Adyen. She doesn't interested in understanding how the candidate fit to the role instead she wants to make sure the candidate knows about Adyen. I asked about 1. Problem statement on why the role is being build upon -> yet she seems angry on why I don't get it and wanting to clarify it 2. Product engineering process and culture in Adyen -> she explain more on the how many teams there are in Adyen which doesn't necessarily answer this Q Problem wise it's not about what she answer but how she answer, I'm not new to product management role (6+ years and in the same industry) and reason why I asked because usually company have different process and culture especially in building their products and I want to know Adyen's product and engineering process. The interview just last for 15 minutes and this is one of the worst HR interview I had. No wonder I see no good review in Adyen's Glassdoor site.

I applied online. I interviewed at Adyen (São Paulo, São Paulo) in Oct 2025
Interview
Processo bem longo, com várias etapas. Pelo o que entendi, ao todo seriam 5 conversas. Uma delas possui um case para realizar. O processo é todo inglês. Somente quando o RH te aborda na primeira vez que é português, depois segundo sendo inglês.

Question 1
Perguntaram muito sobre mim e me enviaram um case pra eu fazer. Tive 1 semana pra montar ele. Depois tive uma call para apresentação do case, e na próxima call foi um papo com os Heads e Diretores. Me perguntaram sobre um projeto complexo e relevante que tinha trabalhado e a partir desse projeto, fizeram várias perguntas pra saber como eu conduzi.
Unprofessional Hiring Process & Poor Communication
I recently applied for a role both online and through a referral. Following this, I was contacted by the TA team, and my first round was scheduled with a TA partner via Zoom. During this conversation, the TA partner explained the job description, profile expectations, and asked some basic experience-related and behavioral questions. She also mentioned that an assignment would be shared within 48 hours.
However, despite multiple follow-ups over the next three weeks, I received no response. Even my referral contact was unable to provide a satisfactory update. This lack of communication was extremely disappointing, especially given the time and effort invested in the process.
Additionally, this is not the first time I’ve had a frustrating experience. In a previous application, despite my extensive expertise in UPI and card payments, I was informed later that the hiring was closed internally—another instance of wasted time. It would be beneficial if the company streamlined its hiring process, ensuring that initial interviews are conducted by the hiring manager to better align expectations for experienced candidates.
A more transparent and respectful recruitment process would greatly improve the candidate experience.

Question 1
Walkthrough your experience and product you have build
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Adyen (Amsterdam) in Dec 2024
Interview
Recruiter call was a 30 min casual chat about past experience
Product Manager conversation about motivations, products worked on etc.
Senior Product Manager conversation same as above and with more focus on why I left couple of jobs in 1 year :/
They rejected me after the second chat because the guy was there since 9 years and thought that every product manager should stay at their company for many many years like him. Quite a disappointing experience as it quite a good fit for my skills and work ex.
