I had a first interview with a recruiter. It was a short chat about my motivation and skills. Following this, there was an interview with the hiring manager. We talked about the role and some prospective projects. I actually had a very good feeling, but I have never heard back from Zalando after that. My emails to the recruiter remained unanswered (several months now). From this experience, the hiring process at Zalando does not seem to be very transparent and respectful.

I applied via Zalando's webpage. After a couple of days I got an invitation for the first screen. The whole process was: 1: First screen with recruiter 2: (offline) Assessment 3: final tech interview The final round was really tiresome since it was sub-divided into three interviews: ML interview, online coding (LeetCode), and the last one focused on system design.
