I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at HelloFresh in Jun 2023
Interview
I made it past the phone screen and interview with hiring manager then was supposed to receive a take-home assessment but I was ghosted. About 60% of the phone screen was the recruiter explaining the total compensation which basically boiled down to "We don't pay fair market wages but we make up for it with equity (you just need to work for us for 3 years)". In the interview the hiring manager was aloof and disinterested the entire time. It seemed like he already made his mind up before the meeting which makes me wonder why he felt it was necessary to waste both of our time.

I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at HelloFresh in Feb 2023
Interview
Had an initial recruiter call. Received a take-home assignment with data aggregation. In the assignment, they mentioned review criteria as if they were only interested in solving the problem, but the reality is totally different. They expect to cover all possible test cases, validations, documentation, code comments, and integration tests. So, think about it before you simply solve and submit the assignment. Though it mentions assignment would take 4-5 hrs, to cover all the requirements, it would take days. Also do not focus on the optimal solution, because they only care about icing on the cake.
