Talk to the interviewer about your work habits and how you prefer to approach a new project. If you know how Adyen prefers to approach their work, you should discuss that method. For instance, if the interviewer says they prefer extensive research before beginning a project, that is your queue to discuss your excellent research skills. However, it is best to show that you can remain flexible and dive right into a project or conduct extensive research when needed.

"I agree that research is the backbone of a strong project. Without it, important details are missed, and much time is wasted. I like to conduct research before starting a project to lay out a plan and understand the potential hurdles. However, if there is a tight deadline and a project needs to be completed quickly, I can jump right in without doing much research."

"Although there are some instances where jumping right in may be required, I always prefer to research before beginning a project. Rest assured, I would always follow your preferred methods should I be hired."

I believe at a company, it should be a combination of both. It's very important to research things beforehand but it is also important to bring products to customers that solve their problems now. I believe in working agilely, doing research, and developing MVP as soon as possible to get feedback on your work. However, I am open to be proven wrong.
Rachelle's Feedback
I like your approach! You show flexibility and a willingness to be proven wrong while also showing confidence in your belief that research has value.

I adhere to the preferred methods of the company, to keep the work moving.
If I think a company could do better, I simultaneously express my views to improve the way of working.
In this instance, I agree that research is crucial.
It reduces resource wastage and could reveal some surprising findings that might be important.
