Interview
The scheduling for interviews and overall organization was good and all interviewers showed on time. Applied online and interviewed online. The interview itself was fair and the interviewers were professional.
The first conversation was handled well and the person I initially spoke with was professional and respectful. The process was later handled by a different team member, and from that point onward the experience changed. The interviews themselves appeared to move forward normally. Later in the process I was told the role had been placed on hold. Each follow-up afterward received the same response, that a decision would be communicated when there was one. No timeline, no honest read on whether the role would move forward, no acknowledgment that "on hold" had quietly become indefinite. The experience was disrespectful of the time and effort a candidate invests in a multi-round process.
A role placed on hold late in the process is, in practice, a role that is no longer hiring. Repeated holding messages instead of an honest close preserves the company's option to revive the search later at the cost of the candidate's own job search.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Bitvavo (Amsterdam) in Jan 2026
Interview
3 stage interview process. First interview was an inital screenig with interview. 2nd interview was a technical interview with 2 interviewers one from payroll one from finance. Final interview culture fit interview with 2 interviewers one from finance one from people. All interviews were pleasant and interviewes were good at making sure you felt welcomed and relaxed. Final interview felt more like a technical interview then culture fit. Felt like a lot of the same questions were repeated over 3 seperate interviews
