It was a pretty standard interview process. I had three interviews in total: first, I spoke with HR, then with the hiring manager, and finally, I had back-to-back group interviews. The whole experience felt welcoming, which matches the company culture.

I got a call from a recruiter about a job I applied for ages ago. The recruiter seemed totally unprepared, not even having my resume handy at first. She asked me basic info that was right on my resume, like my last job title and when I worked at different companies. Then she asked about my salary expectations before checking the range. After about 10 minutes, she said I seemed like a good fit and scheduled a call with the hiring manager. The hiring manager call was okay, but then the recruiter went completely silent for two weeks after I followed up. Super unprofessional.

Technical Case Behavioral Presentation
I interviewed for a manager position in July 2021. The process involved an initial phone interview, followed by a 30-minute interview with the hiring manager. After that, I had to complete an Excel take-home test and create a PowerPoint presentation with recommendations. Then, there were two more 30-minute interviews. Unfortunately, after completing all these stages and dedicating significant time to the process with Home Chef, I was ghosted by the recruiter. Weeks later, I received a generic automated rejection. While I understand not getting the job, the lack of communication and being ghosted after investing so much effort felt unprofessional.

Behavioral Technical
Had five interviews with different team members, spread over about two weeks. Everything seemed to go well, but I never heard back. The recruiter ghosted me and didn't reply to my follow-ups. I've tried to work for this company several times, and I'm honestly not sure how anyone gets hired. The whole process seems pretty broken, and it feels like you need to know someone to get a job. Based on past experiences interviewing here, I can confidently say that current employees can outdo you, even if you're clearly more qualified. Your skills and experience don't seem to matter. With all the steps they make you go through (five interviews is a lot!), they should at least have the decency to tell you where you stand. I've lost all respect for this company and will never apply again.
