HelloFresh Manager Interview Questions
& Process

The interview process involved several back-to-back online interviews. They mentioned a lot of turnover and that they're trying to bring in external talent because most employees have been there since the beginning. However, they're struggling to do so because of their low stock price. The recruiter provided a detailed outline of each interviewer's focus, but no one stuck to it. Some interviewers were late. The feedback received was detailed but confusing. They've had multiple positions at this level in the same department open for over six months. It seems their process is not great and their standards might be unrealistic or unusual. Overall, it was not a good process.

Got a recruiter call that went really well, they described the position in a way that sounded exactly like the description and was very interesting and impactful. Recruiter said a technical assessment would be done after the call with the HM, but I never got any updates about live coding with the HM. Then, a day or two later, they scheduled an interview with the hiring manager, who was looking for a data engineer, not a manager, for pricing. There was a complete mismatch and it was an absolute waste of time. The recruiter said one thing and the HM said something else. They should just put in the JD that it is a data engineer job and they need someone to extract data.

I sent in my application through LinkedIn. After that, a talent advisor reached out to set up an interview. During the interview, I was asked behavioral questions and probed for details about my past work. The advisor was pretty friendly. What really stood out was that after I got a rejection email, they actually set up a feedback session with me when I asked for it. That session was super helpful and honestly showed me how much the company values people, even those they don't end up hiring. It really earned my respect.
