I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at HelloFresh (Berlín) in Nov 2021
Interview
A recruiter reached out to me and we set up a 30mins call. After the call, they sent me a take-home challenge which was mainly about architecture, SOLID and unit tests. Created a pr with a solution which was later reviewed by one of their senior engineers with a few meaningful comments. I was moved onto the technical interview where we discussed deeply the take-home, challenge, and improvements. I passed this stage and had a meeting with the head of the mobile department and finally an offer.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HelloFresh
Interview
HR team had a serious lack of communication. I was told by the recruiter that the hiring manager loved the conversation we had and that they wanted to schedule a 2nd round interview. I was asked to give the recruiter what dates/times worked for me for the next two days. I sent my availability right away... then heard nothing for days.. I followed up and after two more days I got a response saying that they were moving forward with other candidates. When I asked for feedback they just said "all feedback was positive"... Super unprofessional and unorganized. Really disappointing.

I applied via Indeed and received a response for a phone interview. I was emailed a Calendy link and scheduled the interview for the following week. I received several texts and emails for reminders and confirmations of the upcoming interview, adding that I would be contacted at the phone number I provided at the time and date scheduled. Two days before the scheduled time, I responded through their text confirming that I was still available to interview at the original scheduled time.
I never received a call from the recruiter. I have not received an email from the recruiter explaining the delay or requesting to reschedule. It has now been 45 min with zero communication, and unfortunately I wasn't provided a direct phone number or email in order to contact them.
The time I spent preparing and dedicating for this position was a complete waste.
Unbelievably disrespectful and unprofessional. I will not consider any future employment or business with this company.
