I interviewed at Wolt (Berlin)
Interview
For stages process: HR screening, hiring manager, product manager, data science team. All the interviews (except HR) are built around experimentation. The last stages consist of case studies, with no technical or whiteboard questions.
Everybody is nice and collaborative, although the whole process took a month.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A/B tests, and their alternatives (causal inference, etc.): what experience do you have working with them, how do you implement them, and what are the limitations
It's roughly a 4-part process.
There's an interview with the recruiter followed by an interview with the line manager/hiring manager. Then there's a take-home case-study/assignment followed by a wider discussion around that to assess technical competency.
I was cut after the interview with the hiring manager and the reason given was that there were more competitive candidates available.
I personally felt that the hiring manager had already made up their mind before the interview and that there was ethnic discrimination against me in the hiring process. For confidentiality i will refrain from discussing my and the interviewer's ethnicity.
Overall the process felt like an interrogation rather than an interview.
I applied online. I interviewed at Wolt in May 2024
Interview
The interview steps were clearly laid out from the beginning, which helped me prepare effectively.
What stood out the most was the promptness and efficiency of the entire process. The Talent Acquisition (TA) team maintained thorough coordination, ensuring that everything went smoothly and on schedule.
The technical round was somewhat confusing because the focus was minimal on the take-home assignment, with the discussion largely dominated by product-related questions. This shift in focus led to misunderstandings regarding expectations and answers. It also undermined the purpose and time invested in the take-home assignment.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The interview included several questions, among which were the following:
1) Hiring Manager Round:
- Describe a time you resolved a conflict.
- Provide a couple of business guesstimates.
2) Technical Interview:

- Mention the KPIs you would track.
