I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Zalando in May 2024
Interview
I had an interview with HR, the team lead, a coding interview, an architecture interview, and finally an overall technical knowledge interview. I felt good about the interviews and everything went pretty smoothly, but in the end, they just ghosted me. Six weeks have passed, and I haven't received any response. It's so disrespectful and unprofessional. They could at least send me a standard rejection, but to ghost me after five rounds of interviews is ridiculous.

Other Senior Software Engineer Interview Reviews for Zalando
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.
