I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zalando (Berlin) in Mar 2024
Interview
First had a small call with the HR comprising mostly of generic questions and motivation to work at the company.
Then received a codility online test.
Scored a 100% in the tasks but got a rejection email after more than a week.

Question 1
Why would you select Zalando if you had another company at the same time?
It went well, everyone was nice, I would recommend applying there. Lots of interesting positions but it depends upon which team you apply for, I will try an other time.
