I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Adyen (Amsterdam) in Jul 2022
Interview
1st round was perhaps screening round and included general introduction, getting to know project management, implementation experience, interest in payment industry and cultural fit based on Adyen formula.
2nd Round was a technical or presentation round where I was asked to explain the Adyen drop-in solution to a client. Panel included two Adyen senior implementation managers.
I was given a developers assignment instead of implementation assignment and there was a lot of confusion as to what are their exact requirements and to what level are the technical skills requirements.

starts with a check-in with recruiter, then fit interview with one team member, then technical interview with two team members, then offer. Process took 1 - 2 months. recruiter is well accessible.
Long interview process (5 or 6 rounds) ending with an interview with someone from the Board.
Interviewers are looking to assess the candidate potential fit with Adyen, but interviews are very conversational.
First interview with HR was pretty normal. The second interview was with a team member who looked like he didn't care at all. There were no technical questions, all questions were related to my experience so it was difficult to fail. After that, I received a rejection without even a technical interview.
This position is always open and it has been open for years, doesn't seem like they're hiring at all.
