I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Zalando (Berlin) in Dec 2020
Interview
The interview took 45 min with supervisor and team-leader. They were both very nice and very straight to the point. The interview was easy and very smooth. Any tricky question.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me about:
my current job and my responsibilities // What brands I'm used to work and my Excel skills. // talk about a specific situation/problematic day about my job
why Zalando
what're my KPIs
brands that I like and why // brands in Zalando that I like
how do you describe yourself
If I passed, the supervisor told me I should do a SWOT analysis and a presentation.
About 8-9 days after the application, the recruiter reached out for an interview with the hiring manager the following week. The interview was mostly focusing on soft skills. Following the interview, the company took 5-6 weeks to send a rejection.

I was invited to do an interview and asked my availability. I provided availability for multiple days. I never heard back. I followed up with two emails directly to the recruiter that invited me to interview and was completely ghosted.
