HelloFresh Backend Engineer interview questions

The interview process consists of the following steps: - Take-home test - Technical interview - Behavioral interview The whole process was smooth and the recruiter was there to provide detailed and fair feedback after each step. Take-home test is about developing a small microservice, an interesting and challenging task, after submission the code is being reviewed by an engineer, where you can discuss some of the aspects of the implementation. Feedback was constructive and I've managed to learn a few things. The technical interview is heavily focused on the system design and understanding of microservices, their pros and cons, etc., and not so much on the actual coding skills. Very friendly people and the atmosphere is relaxed. The behavioral interview was a fairly standard one, but also interesting. STAR approach is preferential.

The interview process was the best one compared to the rest of the companies I was applying to. The process was based in 5 steps: - Interview with HR (In my case was Julian) - Coding test - Code Review by one of their engineers - Technical Interview with one their Tech Leads (Pedro) - Final interview with the CTO Two of the best factors for me were that everything happened in less than two weeks, and communication was flowing continuously.
