I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Blue Apron (New York, NY) in Mar 2016
Interview
A take-home coding assignment about Rock, Paper, Scissors. After that there was a 30 minute phone screening. The final step was a 7 hour in person interview (you read that correctly, 7 full hours with no scheduled breaks).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
PS:
1) Flatten an array.
2) Given an expression, write a function to evaluate it. Very liberal on the assumptions where the question became incredibly easy.
In-person:
This was a unique interview that I've seen. Majority of the interview was behavioral questions not technical. I was only asked 2 technical architectural questions and one pair-programming exercise. The pair-programming exercise was "Write a function that returns the next 3 Mondays".
The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Blue Apron
Interview
Company absolutely does not respect your time.
HR call
HM call with some domain knowlege questions
Take home due by EOD of sent email
Onsite no LC required. Pretty easy conversational and talk about take home proj.
Told HR I was on a tight sched due to other offers coming and would not respond or acknowledging to any of my follow up emails. Complete waste of time and tc isnt the best. Would not recommend unless u wanna get ghosted after investing time
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Blue Apron (New York, NY) in Aug 2021
Interview
I had a short phone screen, then a video interview about my resume experience and the role. After that I had a roughly 6 hour onsite (also over video) that was 4 interviews (behavioral, systems, coding, culture fit). The whole process was generally friendly but after nearly 7 hours of interviews they simply didn't reply to any follow-up. I wouldn't have minded if I hadn't invested so much time in the process

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Blue Apron (New York, NY) in May 2018
Interview
First round: pre recorder questions to be answered in a video recording
second round: Online hangout interview with manager, asked questions related to resume and projects. Another interview with a teammate which involved a medium leetcode coding question. Passed all the test cases. Overall interview went great. I was told I will be contacted in few days by the recruiter.
Never heard back from Blue Apron. I tried to follow up couple of times, but didn't get a response. This was the worst interview experience for me. Blue Apron doesn't value your time, will never reply you back, not even a rejection template email. I suggest people to not waste time by applying for Blue Apron.
