I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Zalando in June 2016
Interview
Der Ablauf des Vorstellungsgesprächs war sehr freundschaftlich und human. Der Gesprächspartner vom HR hat sich vorgestellt (Position, Aufgabengebiete) und mich dann gebeten Sie durch meinen Lebenslauf zu führen. Die Fragen zu meinem Werdegang waren nicht standardisiert, sondern bei bestimmten Punkten wurde immer eingehakt (warum ein Studium im Ausland, was war ihre Motivation in den Bereich Einkauf zu gehen, etc..). Nachdem ich mit meinem Lebenslauf durch war, wurde noch danach gefragt warum ich für Zalando arbeiten möchte, warum in diese Branche und was meine Gehaltsvorstellung ist. Darüber wurden mir noch die Herausforderungen in dieser Position erläutert und wie der weitere Bewerbungsprozess aussieht.
First the HR calls you via video call, then you have a second interview with the hiring manager, if you go on to the next stage you have a case study to be done and finally on the last interview you present to the hiring manager and head of the department.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic questions about your experience and why would you be interested to join them. Most important thing is that the process can take a while and the questions change between each interview.
Thank you for sharing your experience on your interview process with us! We’re glad that you felt comfortable throughout and enjoyed the conversational dialogue.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Zalando (Berlin) in Jan 2020
Interview
Overall i feel the interview process at Zalando Lounge was prolonged for no apparent reason and overcomplicated. you have to go through 4 or more interviews just for a Junior Buyer role and meet all sort or people who you don't even interact with in your daily job. They give the impression they are too good while indeed, they are not.
