I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Zalando (Berlin) in May 2022
Interview
Racist and discriminative.
I met with a Director for an interview, and shockingly he started with, quote: "What is this name of yours? I never met someone with such name before.. where are you from?"
During the interview he also mentioned, and again I quote: "As a (said his nationality) person who works in tech, I can afford a designer t-shirt like this you see, unlike this shirt you are wearing". the rest of the interview to me was minor details as I was in shock and wanted to finish it without having to hear any further offenses.

Great process - communication was timely and detailed. I enjoyed the process and although i didn't go through with the job i can highly suggest trying because it's not so difficult and the company has great benefits.
Easy interview without too many tricky questions. It took almost a month the whole process. The recruiter was not sure of her duties so it was not really clear how the process was working. Overall a normal experience.
