I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Zalando (Berlin) in May 2016
Interview
The job interviews were all planned for 1 day for about 5h. The first one I had with Researchers and then met potential colleagues for lunch. Afterwards I was talking to designers and then to HR.
However, one interviewer was not very well trained in terms of executing job interviews. Tasks I was given were not very well chosen or valid in terms of assessing my soft or hard skills for the position
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Typical questions: Describe your strengths and weaknesses.
I received two tasks which were supposed to be research related but were rather from Design. But these were a) not clear and b) not assessing my research skills or soft skills in terms of planning projects with non-researchers.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zalando (Berlin) in Aug 2024
Interview
The interviewers were nice. They asked a mix of generic questions with questions asking for specific scenarios. It took on average 30 minutes. Their answer took longer than expected, and I didn't receive any feedback. Even so, I would say the experience was positive.
