I applied online. I interviewed at Adyen (Singapore) in Apr 2026
Interview
Recruiter screening on call with the HR
Live coding with hacker rank on call on backtracking
System design interview onsite with whiteboard
Leadership interview with engineering manager and product manager onsite
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.
Interview questions [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.
