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.

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"
