Entretien
Typical interview process with HR, Hiring manager, technical interview, and culture fit check. You can feel that their technical people are not capable - they have very limited knowledge, knowing only the toolkit Zalando uses, and have difficulties to understand latest technologies and theories behind them. You probably wanted to work with smarter people.
