I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Zalando (Berlin) in Dec 2017
Interview
Initial online coding test to be solved in an hour. It contained 2 coding problems which were quite complex in the given time.
Couple of weeks after the test, a video call with a technical interviewer of about half an hour. Live coding and problem solving session.
Couple weeks after, 3 rounds of technical interviews/video calls each 45 minutes long on one day.
Final hr interview of about 45 minutes.

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.
