Lack of transparency- I started an interview process for a marketing role. The process itself is the long winded interview process tech companies do- TA interview, followed by a case study, followed by another few rounds of interviews. I dropped out as the company does not offer consistent benefits across markets and are completely not transparent.
They sent me over the case study which involves looking at mock data, answering some questions on profitability etc and then putting together a strategy for their back to school campaign (questionable free work here?). I had asked on the benefits package and was told that they cannot share anything until the first day of the job, there are restrictions on this. I asked do they offer maternity leave or paternity leave as most companies do but was told;
1- the detail of the employee handbook is only available once you start with HelloFresh I am unable to give it to you right now
2- right now we are not able to share further detail on what number within the leaves (other than the annual leave) from our side due to the restriction constraint.
Basically they do not offer this benefit but are afraid to state it as it looks bad.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you think hellofresh barriers are within the market?
Do you have experience with price promotions? How do you come up with prices and determine profitability?
Impersonal, unprofessional interview process. They don't show care for any of the candidates and will not take the time to contact you.
Judging from the other interviews I am not the only one to have experienced this. Offers a poor reflection of how they potentially treat their staff.
