Zalando Senior Data Engineer interview questions

The interview process included a 30-minute HR interview, followed by a 1-hour session with the hiring manager, and then three technical interviews. There was flexibility to schedule all interviews on the same day or spread them across multiple days. In the first technical interview, they asked general technical questions related to my experience, along with some scenario-based questions. The second interview focused on system architecture design, while the third involved a coding challenge.

Typical interview process with HR, Hiring manager, technical interview, and culture fit check. You can feel that their technical people are not capable - they have very limited knowledge, knowing only the toolkit Zalando uses, and have difficulties to understand latest technologies and theories behind them. You probably wanted to work with smarter people.
