I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Zalando in Mar 2022
Interview
100% remote
* Codility test
* background questions
* general IT concepts and system design
* Online coding, an algorithmic task and a system-building task (in Codility editor, not possible to execute anything)
Took longer than expected with 5 official interviews plus a few extra calls. Luckily you can schedule each interview separately with a lot of flexibility.
Takes a lot of time after accepting the offer to even get a contract and possibly even more to start working (expect more than a month here, this is important if you do not have current job).

Difficult interview
Application
I interviewed at Zalando (Berlin)
Interview
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.
