J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Adyen (Toronto, ON) en mars 2025
Entretien
I was very enthusiastic about the Account Manager role at Adyen, especially after a positive initial interview with the HR recruiter, who was professional and asked insightful questions.
However, my subsequent interview with a team member raised concerns. The conversation was less structured than expected, and certain comments made me question the inclusivity of the team's culture. Rather than a discussion focused on qualifications, it felt more like the interviewer was establishing status rather than genuinely assessing my fit for the role.
While I understand that interview styles can vary, this experience was not aligned with the professional standards I’ve encountered in the local market. It also left me wondering how consistently Adyen’s stated values are reflected in its hiring processes.

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.
