      Software Developer Interview

      Jul 5, 2021
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Budapest
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HelloFresh (Budapest) in Feb 2021

      Interview

      Pro-s: - very good company, good mission, - culture is exceptional, what I have seen through the interviews, talking with 5-6 separate ppl, - you will have a chance to work with good tech (if you are lucky), - ppl are caring about you, - recruiting team is very good, especially Deborah, super professional, she will do everything to have you onboard, unfortunately, she cannot solve everything. - engineers are kind and polite, and responsive, the interviews were cool for me, you can use your real job experience it is not just about what you had learned from books or articles, or docs, but real-life examples... Cons: - I think salary-wise, or at least to my taste it is not soo exceptional, although financially as I understand the company could let themselves pay more for employees, - they are a bit less flexible in some employe contract terms, like employee format and so, - also the processes can be quite complicated, or complex, and many participants in the flow. In my flow there were like 10-20 ppl as I remember or even more, and I talked around with 10 (1 email is also counted :)), so crystal clean communication is needed from both sides :(, I failed that one as well I feel, - the communication can be overwhelming and the administration too, I mean mainly because of the numbers of participants, you can prepare for a lot of mailing. I believe a single point of contact would be a better option, in the pre onboarding as well, like a mentor :) or just to simplify somehow the process, or I was just unlucky not sure about the reason. - also for me that I need to work mostly on PHP was not so attractive, I created my assignment in the Java ecosystem, I do not have a big problem with PHP just felt like this detail could be communicated beforehand, before starting the interview process and not realize later that significant portion of the system could be in PHP, and you potentially need to work in that quite much. (I see that in other companies as well, that monolith work is not really transparent, but it can be important to communicate that detail as well) Overall way more Pro-s than Con-s and I believe all the cons could be fixed as well with focus and effort on it. And as said it is possible that I was just unlucky that not other candidates felt like Advice to management: - if the company grows with this pace, especially through COVID and new ages, please take care and try to compensate the workers at the same pace :) - also stock compensation shall be a thing, I feel it is a win-win for both sides, although for me it was not offered as I remember. - and if possible simplify a bit the recruit, onboarding flow if I am not the only feedback giver on this.

      Software Engineer Interview

      Jun 7, 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at HelloFresh

      Interview

      Recruiter reached out to me via linkedin. Standard call with recruiter, some questions about experience, what LLM tools are you using, what distributed systems problems have you encountered during you professional work. Then an interview with hiring manager. One hour. Guy turns on gemini notes at the start and starts asking you questions. Some hypotheticals like "what would you do if somebody came to you with production issue but you would already have a sprint close to release?". Some more typical like "Tell me about a time you had a disagreement with manager and how did you handle it?". There was a lot of questions and relatively short time to answer for each. The most ridiculous ones were "I see you've done X on your resume, based on that can you tell how would you design a system Y?" The thing was that system X has little to do with Y. I manged to ask a few clarifying questions about system Y and he told me that we are moving to the next questions. Then again similar question about position A in my resume, and how would I leverage this knowledge to design service B in their application. This types of questions are full blown system design questions for 1 hour interview, not few minutes. Here you are given like 3 minutes for each. I highly suspect that those were generated by LLM At the end he asked me about my usage of LLMs at work, and wanted me to share my screen to show him my workflow. Like how would I do that? Share company screen with outsider person? That's illegal. I wanted to share my personal projects but I was on a "replacement" laptop that didn't have any really. They are putting a lot of weight on LLM usage, I find it kind of funny as this is the skill that even if somebody was lacking he could pick it much quicker than fundamentals.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      -"Based on your project X on your resume design a system that does Y". you have 3 minutes. Mind you that system X had little to do with system Y. Behavioral questions based on you experience and hypothetical questions: -"Tell me how would you handle situation where stakeholder comes to you with production issue and you are close to release?" -"Tell me about a time you had a disagreement with a manager"
