J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. J'ai passé un entretien chez Adyen (Amsterdam) en juin 2023
Entretien
I got a referral from one my ex-colleagues and started with a classic initial conversation with two engineers there. Then I got the Hackerrank test which was so easy. I got a decent score and passed to the next stage which was all about my Hackerrank solutions. There comes the frustration: Again two Engineers different backend team interviewed me for 1 hour but they didn't look like they were familiar with the questions neither interviewing people. I re-read my solutions really quick and spotted my bugs/points. I as an interviewee that got tons of interviews before, believe that I answered their questions at a very decent level but when I got the rejection mail which is ok with a feedback attached to it I was really surprised that the phrases they didn't contradict/ defend and just accept, they said these are your weak points and you don't have enough skills right now. So what is the point of making grumpy, reckless and careless people as interviewer? Even the SQL question that has only one select statement they said it was not optimal but without any answer how or why. I'd recommend not taking them very serious but maybe give it a shot. They look like they don't have a standart or spirit they claimed they have.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
First interview - Some Adyen formula questions. Hackerrank: - LC easy-medium end java question - Completing some java classes that need to pass tests (Their tests have really low coverage so you don't need to fill classes all but some, which they expect vice-versa but in terms of Hackerrank you got %100 score :D) - 3 SQL questions that was almost all easy Hackerrank solutions interview: - Why did you do that? - How could you improve?
I applied the position which aligns with my experience via Adyen's application platform with referral program. My referrer answered their questions carefully, however then I got rejection via email without feedback. I was expecting from them to be clear what's the reason.
Questions d'entretien [2]
Question 1
Based on the job description, which required skills does this person have?
Pretty standard in tech company in NL. This what was the recruiter told me:
- Apply through job portal
- Recruiter call
- Tech interviews
- Offer
I failed after some interviews and no feedback despite asking
Eliminated at Recruiter screening, apparently I did not answer what the recruiter wanted to hear exactly, they come with a script that they read and I suppose your answer is also written in the script, fail to say the keywords and they elimnate you.
Recruiter clearly was on a rush and did not even explain next steps properly.
