I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at HelloFresh (Berlín) in Sep 2020
Interview
Applied through website
Had HR screening round
Scheduled First telephonic interview with "senior level" folks
Even after answering all the questions from the interviewer, still got rejection.
To be honest, I am glad to be rejected after reading the reasons for the rejection. It does not make any sense and the criteria for rejection, they never mentioned before the interview.
Seems they just did formality and the decision was already taken before the interview. Their so-called "senior folks" seemed pretty immature to me and were just merely making things up after I asked technical questions to them for their challenges and why the product performs slow
Some crucial points to note-
- Everyone was polite throughout the process with a smile
- Communication was on time, good or bad but still on time.
- I got to know they are generations behind in tech + processes and they are lost in their own world. I just pray to god for their speedy recovery.
- I know never to interview them again and how they fool candidates on daily basis.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HelloFresh (Toronto, ON) in Jul 2020
Interview
Phone call from HR, 1 hour take home excel test and then ghosted after being offered a google meets interview.
I gave my availability to HR and after following up promptly asking about why I had not received an interview time I was ghosted. This is an extremely negative candidate experience and my opinions are exact same as the other review for this exact same position.
I suspect this is an on going company culture issue as others have experienced similar issues with being ghosted by talent acq.

Interview
The recruiting team is very friendly and supportive. I was able to reach them easily whenever I had any clarification questions. The technical team is extremely friendly as well. Its the best interview combination you can ever meet.
