I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zalando (Berlin) in Jun 2021
Interview
One online coding test for Data structure and algorithms.
Followed by 2 technical rounds and 2 non-technical rounds for culture fit and team practices.
All 4 interviews were back to back on the same day.
Interviewers were humble and knowledgeable.
The overall interview experience was great.
Got an offer but the remuneration was low so had to pass.
