I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Adyen in Aug 2019
Interview
I applied online and after that they emailed me and asked for setting a zoom conference schedule based on my available times.
The video chat was very kindly and respectfully.
They totally asked about my background work experience.
It takes about 20 minutes.
They were looking someone who fully matched with their needs and I didn't have absolute relative experience about implementation manager.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Adyen (Amsterdã) in Aug 2019
Interview
After applying online, I was invited to a video recording interview. Where I was recorded over the internet answering some basic questions like"describe yourself".
Next I had a video chat over Skype with the hiring manager about my experiences and motivation, I spoke quite a lot, with her doing a lot of listening.
I then had my first 2 interviews scheduled in one day, I found it interesting that the hiring manager called it a "coffee/chat" which was to last 2-3 hours. I met the hiring manager and 3 other colleagues within the Implementation Team.
An hour with the first pair (1st Interview) which centred a lot on my story, I was then asked to do an unplanned demo in front of a pretend client, this was to gauge my knowledge of the company and their offerings.
The next pair (2nd Interview) was more technical, a general discussion of payment tech and the supporting tech industry as well to gauge my knowledge of the industry, programming and tech. I was offered lots of coffee and given a mini tour of their office. In both interviews I was asked several times if I had any questions.
I was then called after about a week to schedule my next set of interviews. They were 3 in total and put in one day. One with someone from HR, then the Head of Implementation and the final one with a board member, each lasting 30-45mins.
The one with the HR was mostly casual, seeing if I'm a cultural fit. The 2nd one was quite technical again relying more on my experiences and background, motivations and where I wanted to progress in my Adyen Career. The one with the Board member was quite hard to read, I felt he was exhausted but amongst all the Adyen staff I met, he was the only one who could actually maintain sufficient eye contact with me so I think he was more of a character judge and ultimate cultural fit assessor so to speak with his probing questioning style.
