Adyen interview questions

I had two interviews. The first interview with their HR person and we did it over skype. This went really well. I could see she was familiar with my experience. There were no real gotcha questions, which was surprising to me. She got me really excited about the opportunity. The second interview was with their VP in NY. He was friendly, but I got the feeling he had no background info on me at all. He did not ask me any questions that reflected he had ever seen my CV or given me any thought before walking into the room. I had spent the weekend researching the company, competitors, and the industry. Sadly, my research did not pay any dividends. My time would have been better served by practicing my personal sales pitch. The fault is with me. I had just finished a long grueling interview process with another company and had anticipated the same type of deep grilling NY interview style. Instead, the second interview was over before we got to any real questions. I really regret not giving him a hard personal sales pitch. Adyen seems like a great company that is going places. I wish I had taken a different approach with the second interview.

Ik heb online gesolliciteerd op de functie Senior Office Manager. Als snel kreeg ik per e-mail bericht dat ik was uitgenodigd voor een eerste gesprek. De afspraak was ingepland een ik heb een prettig gesprek gehad met iemand van HR en de huidige Office Manager. De volgende dag werd ik gebeld dat ze betere kandidaten hadden die pasten bij het profiel. Ook dit gesprek was zeer vriendelijk. Ik ben nooit gebeld voor een afwijzing dit gaat meestal per mail.
