Adyen interview questions

The interview process felt disorganized and ultimately frustrating. The role was posted for a Commercial Academy Trainer in Singapore, but it appears the company never actually hired anyone locally for the position. The first call with a local recruiter was standard and covered the role and responsibilities. I passed this stage and was scheduled to interview with a team member based in the US. However, on the morning of the interview, it was rescheduled to later in the week with someone else based in Amsterdam. The interview itself felt quite detached, as the interviewer didn’t seem very engaged and didn’t appear to have much clarity about the role. The questions were fairly generic. About a week later, I received an automated rejection email with no explanation. I had to follow up with the recruiter to get feedback, but the response was very vague. Several months later, it appears the role in Singapore was NEVER filled, which made the process feel like a waste of candidates’ time.

I was contacted by a recruiter to schedule a first interview. The interview took place on a Friday morning and was quite positive—the recruiter shared information about the current team, role expectations, and compensation. I discussed my experience, how it matched the advertised role, and my compensation expectations. The recruiter confirmed that the compensation available for this role aligned with my expectations, and also mentioned that the hiring manager was enthusiastic about my CV. The next steps in the process were also shared with me and I would receive an email on Monday. However, the following Monday at 10 AM, I received a rejection email stating that I would not proceed to the next round. Surprised by this outcome, I reached out to the recruiter for feedback to understand the decision and to improve for the future, but I have not received a response. I believe that if a company invests time in interviewing a candidate, they owe constructive feedback in return. This lack of communication felt unprofessional, especially from a company like Adyen. Based on this experience, I would not consider applying there again.
