I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Zalando (Helsinki, Südfinnland) in Feb 2018
Interview
There were 5 one-on-one interviews: 3 technical, 2 soft-skill.
There were some algorithmic problems and questions about non-blocking http server design and also deep discussion about system design.
After about a week I was offered an "upper"-junior position on a very boring sounding project so I declined the offer.
