Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 3 mesi. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Zalando
Colloquio
The interview consisted of several rounds:
- a call with a recruiter
- an offline coding challenge
- a technical talk (twice)
- system design
- live coding challenge.
There was no feedback after each round. The overall process took over three months. After I completed all the rounds the recruiter reached out to me with an email that the vacancy had been closed and there were no positions to fill, despite the positive feedback from the interviewers.
However, the vacancy was still open weeks after and the recruiter ignored my request to elaborate on the situation.
At the same time, my application for another role was rejected in the same manner with no explanation.

The interviewer was looking desperately tired and unfocused. Didn't join the interview on time. I had to find someone else to ping him to join.
The questions were generic and related. However, it took 2 weeks for the interviewer to send the results of a basic questionnaire to move forward.
I was overall hugely disappointed with that.
