A recruiter recommended me to apply for a job which does not really fit my background. She said the positions I applied myself did not match my background, but I do believe the one she recommended was even further away from my experience. This reflects the bad appetite and judgment of the recruiting team at HelloFresh. Grumpy and demanding interviewer - the director (one of the interviewer) was very disparaging and always looked at me with his eyebrows frowned. He kind of dismissed my experience and does not think I am capable of doing product management jobs in the beginning. What surprised me most is that when I asked the interviewer "what do you think are the main competitive advantage of the current product offerings at HelloFresh compared to competitors?", the director replied, "I did not actually follow what competitors are doing, so I am not very sure about this." To me, this is a big red light. I cannot imagine how this director is leading the product team if he does not even know the market and competitors move. So at that time I already decided I do not want to join this team.
