I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Zalando in Sep 2019
Interview
There was actually no tech interview. There was a short interview with HR manager, and after that I just got online codility test with 3 coding tasks.
All codility tasks were completed and all tests passed. After submission, I've got a formal email rejection response without any feedback and a chance to discuss solutions.
Seems they do junior developers mass hiring instead of senior.

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.
