Deliveroo Operations Manager interview questions

Short interview process - 3 rounds on Zoom. First chat was high level with a recruiter who didn’t know too much about the space, second was with Head of dept, final with wider team (I believe). Had a good connection with both recruiter and dept head and received feedback relating to the role which was overwhelmingly positive; all role specific stuff I addressed, excelled in delivering and was told I was perfect for the role in terms of experience. I was rejected due to being too “alternative” and I was unprofessionally late to the call (2 minutes, because the recruiter failed to send me the link until the time of the meeting). Quite clearly a rejection based on homophobia given the role specific requirements I exceeded but the rejection was based on a farce of excuses. This company clearly has no commitment to diversity and the spiel on their ads is a lie.

The process is unnecessarily long (6 stages), the interviewers were friendly and the study case was insightful and gives a good idea of what the job was. Unfortunately, the whole process takes a long time, which becomes quite stressful. The whole thing could have been done in 3 stages (interview with the direct manager, case study and last interview with other key team members. In the meantime, I interview for another company, got an offer and decided to accept it because Deliveroo was taking too long.
