      Senior Applied Scientist Interview

      16 May 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Zalando in Apr 2022

      Interview

      The process is very long and tiring, took exactly one month. I had 5 or 6 interviews scheduled. On wednesday I had done my second one, feeling extremely positive about it, I seemed like a perfect fit for the role, but for some reason, on next monday, they cancelled all the remaining interviews one hour before the next three that were scheduled. No explanation given, just the cancelling event automatic email. I waited from 7AM to 9AM to confirm if the interview was in fact cancelled or if that was a mistake from their part. No one joined the meeting. Felt like I wasted the entire weekend preparing for these interviews. If I were to be disqualified after the interview I had on wednesday, why make me wait until 8AM on monday, one hour before the next scheduled interview and not even inform me why the meetings were cancelled.

      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Zalando (Berlin) in Apr 2025

      Interview

      I applied via Zalando's webpage. After a couple of days I got an invitation for the first screen. The whole process was: 1: First screen with recruiter 2: (offline) Assessment 3: final tech interview The final round was really tiresome since it was sub-divided into three interviews: ML interview, online coding (LeetCode), and the last one focused on system design.

      Senior Applied Scientist Interview

      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Zalando in Sept 2024

      Interview

      I had a first interview with a recruiter. It was a short chat about my motivation and skills. Following this, there was an interview with the hiring manager. We talked about the role and some prospective projects. I actually had a very good feeling, but I have never heard back from Zalando after that. My emails to the recruiter remained unanswered (several months now). From this experience, the hiring process at Zalando does not seem to be very transparent and respectful.
