I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Zalando (Berlin)
Interview
First a Java and SQL quiz as described in previous reviews. Second round a technical interview which was very packed with some questions that did not make sense for a developer interview, it is more like you should guess what the interviewer needs as an answer. Not much time left for the candidate to ask his/her questions - a bit rushed.
Third round a HR interview which was bad since the questions are very old style HR and the interviewer, even though she claims to have experience, was doing it like an intern. I was asked my salary expectation and I was rejected on this factor. The problem is that when do the quiz, you are asked to state your salary expectations. If you cannot stand up as a company to the salary requirements, why put the candidate in all this trouble?
Also there seems to be an internal lack of communication when the interviews are scheduled.
Le processus d'entretien d'embauche commence généralement par la présélection des candidats sur la base de leur CV et lettre de motivation. Ensuite, les candidats retenus sont convoqués à un ou plusieurs entretiens, qui peuvent être téléphoniques, en visioconférence ou en présentiel. Durant l'entretien, le recruteur évalue les compétences techniques, les qualités personnelles, la motivation et l’adéquation au poste. Des tests techniques ou psychotechniques peuvent être ajoutés. Enfin, après comparaison des candidats, une proposition d’embauche est faite au profil le plus adapté. Le processus peut durer de quelques jours à plusieurs semaines.
