Interview
I had three technical interviews including a system design interview and a software engineering basic DSA, and an executive interview. Questions were mainly about Kubernetes, Terraform, CI/CD and Monitoring. The DSA problem included solving a simple DSA problem and talking through the solution explaining about time complexity of it.

Other Senior Platform Engineer Interview Reviews for HelloFresh
I applied online. I interviewed at HelloFresh (Berlin) in Sep 2023
Interview
Discriminative rude Senior Tech Recruiting Manager
During the first round, right from the beginning. I had an interview with the Senior Tech Recruiting Manager for the senior platform engineer position. She was not normal at all, she was using a mocking tone while talking to me. She barely asked questions in a comprehensible way, so I can answer her precisely.
She was gazing at me disrespectfully with weird side eye looks and kept moving a lot like she wanted to get done with the interview as soon as possible.
How Hello Fresh is putting people like this at the face of the interview process ? I just rejected the rest of the interview steps.

Interview
The Recruiter is very nice. We had a friendly talk about company culture and benefit. The company benefit is quit good. The next round is Take Home Challenge. I was given a pure API development task with DB and it is more focused on Programming/ BE Develop even the JD is k8s/docker/aws/ci/cd/terraform/ansible etc. It seems they are recruiting Developer not DevOps/Platform Engineer. Or the position requires solid BE knowledge.
