      Senior Backend Engineer Interview

      Sep 10, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at HelloFresh in Aug 2017

      Interview

      The well-designed interview process, mainly 4 steps. Since I am from India, all the interviews were through skype. 1. Skype call with TA head, Skype call discussing general information about the job. Will ask you about the current experience. 2. Coding Task. Need to design a microservice for Recipe API. A Very interesting task which has to be done with clearly designed objectives. It also includes well-defined documentation covering all the requirements and evaluation criteria. I have done the task in 7 days and tested code in multiple environments. After pushing the code to git, PR review was done by the team. It was a very detailed review and points out any of the short comings. For me, review feedback was good with few suggestions for improvements. 3. Technical interview with Director of Engineering. 45minutes long interview. Asked for details on my experiance and about the current role. It also includes architectural and few technical questions. This is also a good opportunity to ask technical questions about hellofresh and about your role in Hellofresh. 4. Interview with HelloFresh CTO. A talk with CTO. General questions and questions about the current role. It also includes some behavioural questions. I have also utilized the opportunity to ask few questions. All the interview process including the coding task went well. Eventhough I am from the diffrent country, I was confident because of the diversity among the employees. That gives me confidence about the results. After few days, I got a call back from TA head saying I am not selected for the Job position. I was little surprised and sad about the results. But she points out the few reasons why I am not selected. Even though I am disappointed by the results, we can see few positive things throughout the interview process. 1.Asking you about feedback about the interview process., 2. Follow up email after the interview. 3. Very good code review. and Final feedback call after interview even if you are not selected. Even though I am disappointed by the results, well-designed interview process and good tech team to work as Developer.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at HelloFresh in Oct 2024

      Interview

      I had a first HR screening interview, and unfortunately, it was a highly disappointing experience. From the very beginning, the HR representative mentioned he wouldn’t be turning on the camera, which immediately affected our communication. Following his suggestion, I also turned mine off. This was my first experience with an HR interview where both parties had their cameras off, and it made it incredibly difficult to focus on the conversation. As a result, the interview did not go well. The HR representative asked a series of repetitive and irrelevant behavioral questions, almost like a robot reading from a script, which didn't feel tailored to the conversation at all. The notes during the interview were taken by an AI bot, further distancing any human connection in the process. To add to that, he also said that the company expects employees to work from the office three days a week, which didn’t align with my expectations, so I wasn’t too disappointed when the interview outcome was negative. This has been my only HR interview rejection.

      Interview

      Recruiter screen Take home coding test - I didn't even attempt because it sounded ridiculous Who even does take home assignments anymore? Such a waste of time to expect candidate spend hours on their free time while having a full time job to get response back "you didn't follow best practices"
