HelloFresh Director interview questions

This place is trying to be like an elite Amazonesque tech company with their demands of candidates, except they lack the efficiency in both hiring process and strength as a company. Thus, the arrogant demands and time wasting of candidates made the overall process negative. However, I did at least have the {nowadays rare} pleasure of working with a pleasant, professional, and responsive Talent Acquisition senior manager. I’ll caveat this by saying I applied to a role that was a lower level/lower pay than my prior job at a better company, but that’s the job market these days. So not a reach position or title jump. But I was ok with it because it was a new industry and focusing more deeply on one element of what I previously did. It fell under Marketing. Here are the many steps: 1. Recruiter interview - PASSED. 2. Hiring Manager interview - PASSED. 3. Another senior leader interview - PASSED. 4. Another senior leader interview where they did a screen share and had me do a math problem while they watched onscreen (on Google sheets, not even Excel) - PASSED. 5. Another senior leader - PASSED. 6. Written assessment homework assignment - SUBMITTED. 7. CMO final interview - DIDN’T HAPPEN. After submitting the written assessment (which was very well written - the point of it - but maybe my business example in it was what was being tested?), I was ignored for 8 days, and then told they were “moving in another direction”. Apparently they were looking for more tenured experience in another area; ie, something they were aware of about me from 1.5 months ago. Not me performing poorly on any of these excessive interviews, analytical tests, or writing. So basically I passed every hurdle… and then they just decided they wanted a different type of person. Also skeptical if they ever hired anybody after all of that because I don’t even see anyone with that title at the company under that hiring manager! It’s a shame because I felt positive about them early on in the process, but the complete disrespect of candidate time and lack of focus on what they need makes this company seem weaker than they seem to realize. Proceed with caution unless you have a lot of time on your hands to spare.
