Adyen Frontend Engineer interviews, decoded.

The interview was easygoing and pleasant. They were very open and straightforward about the process and what to expect. The recruiter was very friendly. Every step was explained. I didn’t accept the offer but I would consider applying again in the future.

I would not recommend applying to Adyen. There was no initial HR call, and the recruiter was unresponsive to my emails. I only received automated emails for meeting invitations. The first interview was with two frontend engineers who asked about my background. The second step was a confusing 1.5-hour coding assignment where one project did not compile, and another required a non-frontend technology solution instead of JavaScript, all under time pressure. I pointed out these issues in the third interview, but they were not addressed. The third interview was a live coding session based on the assignment, after which I received harsh feedback, including comments on my indentations.

I had an HR interview first, which was nice and informative. Then, I had a second interview with two engineers. They asked me some general questions about the work environment. After that, I got an email saying I didn't get the job because I seemed nervous.
