I applied online. I interviewed at Zalando in Nov 2021
Interview
Around 3 months to finish. I found the overall process a little bit frustrating. During the final interview, there were 4 rounds. They swapped SD and coding interviews but did not inform me earlier. Also, I had to send a follow-up email to get feedback if I was selected for the final interview. The recruiter said she forgot to email me. The interviewers were great. I learned lots of things from them and I quite enjoyed each session. But the management and overall interview process was not smooth.

Question 1
Basic CS and android related questions. Easy/Medium LC problems for problem solving. Need to code in System Design which was not expected. System design interview was very detailed and I had to write codes for all modules.
