Ok in some things, poor in the other - Software Engineer Zalando Employee Review

Poorly copied Amazon culture and hiring process. Company's principles are a facade - no one really commits to them or treats them seriously. Low salaries, especially on junior positions. Zalando punishes loyalty and experience. Growth opportunities inside the company are non-existent, as it fully focuses on external hiring instead. Big salary gaps between the existing employees and new hires on the same levels. Tolerance for language referring to gender, race, age, sexual orientation or physical appearance, which in any other reputable company would result in an immediate termination, e.g. "heterosexual white males". Gender bias, both in hiring and internal trainings (women are preferred). Company openly admits to "positive discrimination" (discrimination is discrimination whether you call it “positive” or not).
