First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Blue Apron.
Operations Manager
I applied through LinkedIn. After about a week, I got an email for a phone screening that went well. Then I had a second phone interview with a General Manager. He seemed impressed and said I'd hear back about an in-person interview. However, after 1, 2, even 3 weeks, I heard nothing. I tried contacting the HR manager who did my initial screening, but got no response. It would be good to get a response either way, instead of being left unsure.
- Can you describe the largest team you've managed and your approach to managing them?
Supervisor
I first filled out an online application. Then, I got an email to set up a screening chat. After that, I was invited to the office for an in-person interview with HR, the Assistant General Manager, and the Supervisor. Next, they invited me back for a tour of the Blue Apron Facility. I waited about a week for them to debrief. Finally, I got a call and/or offer letter, followed by a Hireright background check and a drug test.
- Tell me about your experience managing people.
- Can you describe difficult situations you've handled with direct reports and explain the processes involved?
Supervisor
The interview process was thorough but also personable. They asked about my job history, personal goals, how I handle situations, and past achievements. I spoke on the phone with an Assistant General Manager and then with the branch head of HR. This all took place over two weeks, and I got an offer in the third week. A big part of the interview focused on experience with lean philosophy and how I'd work with HR to manage people and situations. It's really important to show you're a team player and have experience doing so. Like many startups, they care a lot about keeping team members happy.
- If given the chance to join our company, where do you envision your future here?
