I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Wolt (Berlin) in Apr 2023
Interview
Following that, there was a session with the Merchant Group engineers, who oddly insisted on a functional programming approach, despite it not being mentioned in the problem statement.
The interview process itself was disappointing—not focused on evaluating relevant skills, but instead fixated on hearing specific answers.
Thankfully, I didn’t doubt my abilities and ended up receiving offers from several Berlin-based companies I was applying to that summer, including DeliveryHero, Miro, Personio, and HelloFresh.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Your task is to write an endpoint that accepts JSON-formatted opening hours of a restaurant as an input and returns the rendered human readable format as a text output.
I had two interviews with Wolt, one with HR and another with the hiring manager. After that, I was completely ghosted, without even a simple rejection email. It’s disappointing and unprofessional, especially after investing time in the interview process. Because of this experience, I will never apply for a position at Wolt again in the future.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Wolt (Helsinki, Southern Finland) in Nov 2025
Interview
1. Recruiter
2. Manager (Team culture round)
3. Home assignment
A recorded interview with the recruiter, which I wasn't informed earlier and I've never seen recruiter recording a video of initial screening. HM round was easy and it was more of a chat which was good. The next round was home assignment and the feedback was utterly useless. My code and tests did the very thing they said was missing, which was seriously confusing. I was told we would have a discussion with the team after I submit my code and that round will also consists of system design. Once again in last 2 years Wolt has shown their interview process is broken and won't improve. And this role had on-call rotation, which was not clearly mentioned in initial screening by recruiter. Overall, just poor experience and I would recommend staying away from them because they try to waste candidate's time with utterly useless feedback and don't tell what one should do to improve. Save your time people :)

Question 1
Past & current projects, strengths & weakness . Do you use AI tools, and how do use it.
I applied online. I interviewed at Wolt in Sept 2025
Interview
Two interviewers. One with the camera off. An hour and a half of questions about the most challenging project. I'll say it again: an hour and a half! Not 45 minutes, but 90! Oh well. I shared a true story about how I launched a project for a serious company from the very beginning, from the very beginning, all the way to production. I was lucky to be involved, and I told them about it. The result: rejection. Who are they looking for?! An engineering director for a programmer role? Good luck.
