Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Zalando (Helsinki, Finlandia meridionale)
Colloquio
Don't bother with this company. They put you through a process with vague expectations and a bad interviews. There are 7 rounds in total. The last 4 are usually scheduled back to back. The interviewers are just trying to check a box, they have no skills whatsoever in interviewing. The feedback is vague and unhelpful. The general tech interview is where they ask you whatever they want, and they expect you to say certain words and buzzwords, if you don't say them, you fail. The dumb part is that even if you fail your first interview of the last 4 rounds, you still have to go through the rest of the interviews. The live coding is a leetcode assignment, which is extremely pointless. System design might not even be system design, it's really anybody's guess what it'll be. Your feedback could be either complete silence or a vague feedback such as "you didn't use the terminology we would have wanted". Seriously, don't bother. They are not a FAANG company, they just want to pretend to be one.

Had a FANG-style interview with three rounds: a live coding session (sliding window problem), a system design interview focused on an e-commerce platform, and a behavioral round. The process was structured and engaging, testing both technical depth and communication skills. Overall, a great learning experience that felt fair and well-balanced.
