Pros

The discount is decent, but don't be fooled as it doesn't apply to everything on the website.

Cons

Terribly competitive in order to exploit you and force employees into working above their pay grade. Colleagues are pretentious and non-collaborative.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We take what you say very seriously as the described behaviour is not what we strive to practice at Zalando and goes against our values and high standards, written down in our Code of Ethics (https://corporate.zalando.com/en/about-us/zalando-code-ethics). We have shared your feedback with our People & Organization team. To prevent violations and to react to them in an adequate manner, we offer different channels for both employees and externals to report possible violations, including a Whistleblower Tool (https://www.whistleblowing-zalando.de/). We would appreciate your help with this and invite you to share further feedback via the tool, so we can investigate and drive any improvements needed. - Talent Acquisition Team

Thank you for leaving us a review. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We are very sorry to hear that you feel there is a lack of leadership skills. At Zalando, we believe in continuous learning as key in acquiring knowledge and competencies to expand your skills and develop future opportunities. In addition to general training, mentorship and coaching opportunities open to all employees, we offer leadership development programs for our leads. Also, the culture you describe goes against our values as stated in our Founding Mindset principles (https://jobs.zalando.com/en/our-founding-mindset) at Zalando. We fully commit to providing an inclusive culture and a positive atmosphere at work. We specified our shared values and standards in our Code of Ethics (https://corporate.zalando.com/en/about-us/zalando-code-ethics). Finally, we would very much appreciate your help and invite you to share further feedback internally with the P&O Business Partners as the described behavior is not what we strive to practice at Zalando and we rely on each other to uphold the highest standards. We have since shared your feedback within our Leadership team in order to drive improvement where needed. - Talent Acquisition Team
