I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Adyen (Paris) in Apr 2022
Interview
J’ai été chassée par la RH
Process très fluide: entretien Rh,puis entretien avec un account manager,puis Team lead et enfin le boss de l’équipe
Ce n’est qu’au bout du 4eme entretien et du business case qu’ils se sont rendus compte que j’aurai du mal à m’intégrer et que je n’étais pas un bon cultural fit…et peut être trop « senior/âgée »pour m’intégrer(j’ai 37 ans)
Alors même si on vient vous solliciter, si ce n’est pas un poste de management,je vous conseille d’y réfléchir avant d’y consacrer du temps.
Si vous êtes junior,ou avez moins de 30 ans,c’est le cadre parfait
L’équipe semble être smart et dynamique,les locaux sont hyper agréables.

I was contacted by two different recruiters regarding two positions I had applied for, and unfortunately neither experience was positive.
For the first recruiter screening, the recruiter joined the Zoom call a few minutes late and seemed disengaged throughout the conversation. Most of the questions were very basic, there were no meaningful follow-up questions, and it didn't feel like my responses were being actively listened to. The interview ended about 10 minutes earlier than scheduled.
The second experience was more frustrating. The recruiter did not show up for our scheduled screening call and emailed me about 20 minutes after the start time to say that her previous meeting had run over. We agreed to reschedule to next day and she confirmed the time with me. But on the day of interview, she sent a calendar invite for a different time without first checking my availability.
I understand that schedules can change and unexpected conflicts happen. However, after multiple issues with communication and scheduling, I felt the process was disrespectful of candidates' time. As a result, I chose to decline the invite.
Based on my experience, Adyen may want to invest more attention in recruiter communication, candidate engagement, and professionalism during the early stages of the hiring process.
Standard case study - gave me a scenario around a situation and I responded using the Adyen Formula. The process was designed to test the way you think and if you are able to embrace the Adyen formula. Knowledge and culture fit check.
Clear and good process, knew what to expect. Process stated like on the website. Friendly contact with recruiter, but could've been a bit more responsive. Was nice getting to know the colleagues/team so fast.
