I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Zalando (Berlin) in Jan 2016
Interview
First I had to do 5 different test works – creative translations from German and English. I had for this only 36 hrs what I found very short because I had to do some research too. Later I had Skype interview with two members of the team. I didn't feel happy abut this conversation. Next it was two more test – one PR text to translate and one long and probably google translated I needed to correct. After this I had one more interview at the office with HR manager and two team members. After one week I got an answer that somebody else was offered this position. When I asked what was the reason that I wasn't picked up I got that my writing skills were not so good which is not true cause during the last interview I got really good feedback concerning my writing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How I approach my work? My work experience (with details what can help me with working with Zalando). What do I do if the work repeats and is less creative that I expected? How I correct what I translate? How do I find the copy on the web site so far? What do I know about Zalando?

Interview
I applied online and the had a call with a recruiter. I was invited to the second stage interview with a manager. The second stage was okay but I didn't feel any interest or willingness to get to know me more. It felt more like questions in a test. But that's all okay and people have different working styles. Unfortunately, they didn't not provide detailed feedback after the interview and that was the main drawback for me.
