I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Zalando (Berlin) in Apr 2024
Interview
First, correspondence with HR. No call with HR. Then a behavioral + tech interview for 60 minutes. Different questions about your experience and why I decided to change my job. These are the questions that require pre-prepared answers.
The interviewer asked why I chose their team, but the team was not introduced neither by HR nor by them 🤦🏻♂️. So the process was quite messy
No email with feedback was received. Company disappeared.
