I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zalando (Helsinki, Südfinnland) in Jun 2021
Interview
Well structured but pretty long process, for me there were: hr interview (1h), home assignment(codility - 2h), interview with team lead (half technical, half team-match - 2 hours), 3 technical interviews as a final step (3h) and final hr call (about 0,5h). All steps have good structure and well prepared.
People are friendly and trying to help (especially during the last long tech interview).
