Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 4 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Zalando (Santo Domingo) nel mese di mar 2024
Colloquio
The process consisted of four interviews: HR intro call (no more than an hour), technical interview (which is a live coding session of one hour), general tech interview (which was more like a behavioral interview of one hour) and a system design interview (one hour, this one was the most challenging for me). It lasted four weeks (one interview per week). Got an answer in approximately one week.

I'll try to add at least one thing for each round of interview from what I remember:
HR Intro call:
Basic questions about your background and why you applied for the position and the company.
Tech Interview:
It was a live coding session (sadly don't remember the name of the coding environment) of three short problems using JavaScript. Testing was an optional part, but I tried doing it anyway.
General Tech Interview:
This one was questions regarding how I reacted in certain situations, like, for example, how I dealt with someone with I had differences with or to talk about an issue I had faced. It's an interview to see how you fit in the team. I recommend STAR for answering these questions. Sadly, I don't remember more questions.
System Design Interview:
This one was a bit more challenging to me. Questions were regarding, for example, what happens behind the scenes when you access a website, how you would choose the tech stack of a project. Sadly, I also don't remember many details. I recommend reading at least the first chapter of the book “System Design Interview - An Insider's Guide" by Alex Xu.

Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 3 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Zalando (Berlino) nel mese di lug 2025
Colloquio
HR - HM - 3 tech rounds. In total less then 3 weeks. It's fairly fast and well structured. 3 tech rounds are general tech ( very closely related to your previous role and the role you are interviewing ), DA, and then system design is also very related to the role. Each tech round is 1 hour, it can come in different orders cuz for me system design came first. In the end the hr give me a feedback session.

It was a backend + data role. A lot of database postgre stuff. And also cloud stuff. Like how kubernetes work? People are very nice.

The process is straight forward but there are too many of them. First talking to the recruiter then a coding challenge, and then another online with a manager supervising and asking questions.
