First, I scheduled an interview with two engineers. The interview covered non-technical questions about my background, their background, and why I was applying to Adyen. That interview went well, and they sent me a code assignment through Codility. The questions were not very difficult. After completing the code assignment, we arranged a new interview with two developers to evaluate my case and discuss my technical experience. The interview was overall good. We went through my answers and talked about solutions, discussed one uncovered case in my solution, and they asked me some technical questions. One of the interviewers was very cold during the whole interview and did not answer my questions when they wanted me to ask some. Later, I got an email from HR saying my interview was not good and they could not get a clear understanding of what interests me in Adyen. She said she was happy to answer my questions if I would like any specific feedback about my application or interviews. I asked for some details, like what they meant by my interview being bad, if my Codility answers were not good, or if my technical skills were not enough, but of course, they never responded back.

What I gathered from that whole process is that they are not looking at your skills but only for a good reason to work there.

Why do you want to work with Adyen?
