Interview
I applied for a Senior Product Designer role in Berlin. All the people I interviewed were such good listeners with a very positive attitude. This is so important for candidate experience. If you have the matching skills, if you are well prepared and really willing to get the job, most of the time it goes smoothly but this is not a one-sided story. The interviewers can bring out the best in potential candidates with basic techniques and a little empathy. I think in that sense Hello Fresh is doing a great job. Even though if I wasn't hired, I would have ended the process with a very positive feeling about Hello Fresh. I thank everyone who was involved in my process for their support!
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
The first interview is with the talent acquisition manager to get to know the candidate better as a person and a designer.
I was given a design challenge regarding one of Hello Fresh's products to see how I approach a design problem and then how I communicate it with the audience.
The home-take exercise was too long and based on a real company problem. It means, essentially, that applicants are supposed to provide ideas for the company's problem for free. I consider it disrespectful. It is so easy to come up with imaginary exercises to test a candidate's ability.
