I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zalando (Berlin) in Aug 2016
Interview
Initial interviews with multiple levels very interesting and challenging.
Questions simple though unrelated to the position offered. The tech recruiter had low knowledge of the subject and was googling the answers.
Very chaotic organisation. Has some great people in it but not the place where you want to see yourself long term.

Question 1
Strategic questions as well as development questions though some unrelated to the position applied.
intial call with recruiter and then a coding assessment test. coding was leetcode medium level questions. after that was a live coding interview. for approx 1 hour and then a systems design interview for designing a payment system.
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Zalando (Berlin) in Oct 2025
Interview
The interviewer was looking desperately tired and unfocused. Didn't join the interview on time. I had to find someone else to ping him to join.
The questions were generic and related. However, it took 2 weeks for the interviewer to send the results of a basic questionnaire to move forward.
I was overall hugely disappointed with that.
