I applied for a position at Zalando (Zeos) in early July. They scheduled an interview for the beginning of August. However, 45 minutes before the interview, I received an email saying I missed the meeting and my application was rejected. I immediately responded, explaining that the interview hadn’t even happened yet and that I was still waiting for it. I received a response acknowledging the mistake, and I was moved to the next stage. The next step took a month to schedule, finally happening in early September. It was supposed to be a 30-minute interview, but it lasted only 20 minutes with a few basic questions that didn’t seem relevant to the role. By the end of September, I received an automated rejection. What was the point of this 3-month process? Total waste of time. Absolute mess.
