I participated Senior Backend Engineer recruitment process in Helsinki in April 2020. Quite long process consisted of HR interview, coding assignment, manager interview and three final interviews. Positive experience and very nice interviewers, recruiter kept me well informed. Nothing bad to say other than that there are too many steps in the process compared to other companies.

I had an initial interview with Zalando's internal recruiter and then 2 interviews for the role. Overall I am extremely dissapointed with the experience. During the interview with the recruiter they offered to schedule another another appointment to help prepare and understand the hiring process better, after sharing my availability for this meeting I got ghosted, when I followed up I simply got a generic reply and to let them know if I had any questions (that's what that meeting was supposed to be about) The second interview was a technical interview that consisted on a discussion on my overall experience and an algorythms question that I would put on easy/medium-easy. This was a very satisfying interview with a great professional, sadly the rest of the experience puts a bitter note to this. The final interview I was invited to was a hiring manager interview. The questions for this interview would be what you expect to find after googling "top 10 HR tech interview questions". The barely left 5 min for questions of the schedule time and cut it abruptly after that, clearly no interest in the interviewee asking questions. Initially they informed me that the process is expected to last 20 days, between the 1st and 2nd interview at least half of that time went by.
