I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zalando (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2018
Interview
Very calm and cool interview procedure. I was called in the morning for around 90 mins discussion(interview) for the summer intern program. I met the Team Lead and he explained me the project which the interns will be working on, he was really excited about the problem statement and made me really enthusiastic to ask me more details about it.
Then it was followed by a 1 hour-ish interview with 2 members, one Data Scientist and another Senior Data scientist. They were really kind and very helpful throughout the time and we really had a great conversation in that duration, and I really enjoyed the two-way discussions and scenarios (in form of questions) which were asked to me. Overall, I would rate the interview process to be really smooth and interviewee-friendly, just make sure you have strong fundamentals of Software Dev/ Software Engineering with a good base on Machine learning(Data Science) and you can then give your best.
