I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at HelloFresh in Aug 2023
Interview
Initial screen with HR is pretty chill, overall it felt like a natural conversation. no weird questions were asked, we only talked about my experience, what I was looking for and the role. After that, they sent me a hackerrank assignment having some questions and a mini CTF. The assignment was really nice, I was positively surprised by it. They made really interesting questions regarding git and AWS security, secret management and the CTF was super fun. I had to spin up a docker image and find the flags to submit them.
