I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Zalando (Berlin) in Jan 2024
Interview
The hiring manager said I passed the level and he was going to set up my next interviews, but that didn't happen. It was a pretty crappy experience.
No message from the recruiter either, just ghosted me.
