Development manager interview (General tech /behavioural) 4. 4 hours interview ( hr/ technical/ design / general tech) I'm pretty sure i did well in the interviews , i did the last interview on 25th march , and the hr told me in the interview we will get back to you with the feedback either offer or decline by max on 29th or 30th march ! And it's 12th april now and still no reply from them ! This shows how they are not respective to their your candidates as you promise them and you then disappear without any single feedback! Doesn't recommend this company at all!!! Will never consider this company in the future neither recommend it to anyone.

      Average interview

      Application

      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.
