      Junior Software Engineer Interview

      Jun 6, 2021
      Anonymous employee
      Helsinki, Southern Finland
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Zalando (Helsinki, Southern Finland) in Jun 2021

      Interview

      Well structured but pretty long process, for me there were: hr interview (1h), home assignment(codility - 2h), interview with team lead (half technical, half team-match - 2 hours), 3 technical interviews as a final step (3h) and final hr call (about 0,5h). All steps have good structure and well prepared. People are friendly and trying to help (especially during the last long tech interview).

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Zalando (Berlin) in Jul 2025

      Interview

      HR - HM - 3 tech rounds. In total less then 3 weeks. It's fairly fast and well structured. 3 tech rounds are general tech ( very closely related to your previous role and the role you are interviewing ), DA, and then system design is also very related to the role. Each tech round is 1 hour, it can come in different orders cuz for me system design came first. In the end the hr give me a feedback session.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      It was a backend + data role. A lot of database postgre stuff. And also cloud stuff. Like how kubernetes work? People are very nice.

      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Zalando (Dortmund)

      Interview

      The process is straight forward but there are too many of them. First talking to the recruiter then a coding challenge, and then another online with a manager supervising and asking questions.
