HelloFresh interview questions

The interview process consists of the following steps: - Take-home test - Technical interview - Behavioral interview The whole process was smooth and the recruiter was there to provide detailed and fair feedback after each step. Take-home test is about developing a small microservice, an interesting and challenging task, after submission the code is being reviewed by an engineer, where you can discuss some of the aspects of the implementation. Feedback was constructive and I've managed to learn a few things. The technical interview is heavily focused on the system design and understanding of microservices, their pros and cons, etc., and not so much on the actual coding skills. Very friendly people and the atmosphere is relaxed. The behavioral interview was a fairly standard one, but also interesting. STAR approach is preferential.

I applyed for a job at HelloFresh and received an invitation for an interview and the team leader for that specific team joined. I have done some initial research on the company and others experience with the company and I have to say that I was already not so happy with what I saw. In the actual interview the person that asked questions had 0 soft skills and interviewing skills. Questions were quite odd with no clear context to the job that I was applying. I was interrupted from explaining my personal experience on several ocasions which felt really unprofessional. What you read on glassdoor is validated from the first experience with someone from this company. I would not recommend this company as it feels that it has a really toxic culture with a work work balance culture.
