      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Zalando (Berlin) in Oct 2016

      Interview

      The proccess began by linkedin. The recruiter ask me about new opportunities and we schedule a skype call, just to him hear about me and check if I really fit with position. Two weeks after I did other skype call with a new recruiter that describe me more details about, zalando, benefits we spent about 40 minutes talking and she sent me a link to codility On codility I did 3 exercises, the exercises was simple but you need to take care about details and Big O notation Then I did 3 tech interviews, 45minutes each one with 15 minutes interval. The interviews difficulty was increasing by each one. The first one was so simple, with a live coding, just java. The second one was harder and I have to describe some data structures and the live coding I have to write the same exercises using java 7 and 8, clearly the interviewer wants to know if I really know the new java 8 apis. The last one was really hard, I have to create some component diagrams and explain my solution about a social network like twitter, the interviewer did great questions fortunately I did well

      Question 1

      The first interviewer asked me (live coding) to do a circuit break with n attempts to connection with database. I had some difficulty to understand what he really wanted at the first time and I'm getting nervous during interview.

      I interviewed at Zalando (Berlin)

      Interview

      Had a FANG-style interview with three rounds: a live coding session (sliding window problem), a system design interview focused on an e-commerce platform, and a behavioral round. The process was structured and engaging, testing both technical depth and communication skills. Overall, a great learning experience that felt fair and well-balanced.
