The interview process at Delivery Hero is quite long and challenging, but I completely understand why. It allows both the company and the candidate to truly get to know each other. It’s not just about the employer assessing us — it’s also a chance for us as candidates to strengthen our motivation and ensure that Delivery Hero is genuinely the company we want to join. Instead of feeling frustrated about job searching, this process helps us be 100% confident that Delivery Hero is the right fit.
Typically, the entire process takes around 1 to 2 months, from the moment HR first reaches out to the candidate until the offer is made.
Here’s a brief overview of the process:
1. Application through the job portal.
2. Initial contact — HR will approach via LinkedIn or email if your CV/profile matches the job description.
3. Initial discussion (30 mins) with HR, covering administrative topics (relocation, expected salary, notice period, etc.) and a few simple technical questions. (In my case, they asked about sample size in A/B Testing.)
4. Hiring Manager Interview (1 hour) — focuses on your background, cultural fit, and technical skills.
5. Technical Test — for me, this included two parts: (1) SQL, A/B Testing, Python, and (2) a case study presentation.
6. Panel Presentation & Discussion — presenting the case study to a panel of three people (usually senior or managerial level) and going deeper into technical discussions. My focus was mainly on A/B Testing and Statistics.
7. Final Interviews — two interviews with (1) another manager (to ensure unbiased evaluation), and (2) a stakeholder. Each session lasts about 45 minutes.
Once all interviews are completed:
1. Day after the final interview: HR shares feedback and discusses salary expectations and administrative matters.
2. Around one week later: HR and the hiring team extend the official offer.
Although the process is long, I truly believe it’s worth it. It builds confidence in your decision to choose Delivery Hero as the next step in your career — it’s not only about them getting to know us, but also about us strengthening our conviction to join the company.
Overall, I really enjoyed the interview experience. The atmosphere was relaxed and felt more like a brainstorming session than a formal test, so I didn’t feel nervous. The interviewers often asked open or ambiguous questions, but that’s the point — to assess how we clarify ambiguity and demonstrate critical thinking.
