      Pros

      very fast moving company, very talented people, internal promotion (up to Lead level not after), importance of measuring the impact of actions

      Cons

      unclear strategy and more importantly no purpose (except reach XXB€ ). No marketing vision (2 reorgs in less than 12 months...). above Lead level internal promotion is not pushed ahead

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The opportunities at Zalando are endless. Its truly a great company. I stayed here for 4 years and had 3 opportunties here to help the business to achieve hiring goals across 3 teams, so saw many different sides to the business and grow enormously from this. Zalando was high growth for nearly the whole time I was there and that's an exciting, fun, dynamic, fast paced place mixed with chaos. Zalando is a company that has faults but its also one that recognises its shortcomings and looks to fix them. I love that spirit and honesty. Personally, I've had great leaders in my time here who've supported my passions and helped me to better myself and adapt to new situations. The thing I will miss the most is the people. Working in teams was awesome there. I got to learn from so many talents. Wow. Everyone was so helpful all the way throughout the company and it kind of feels bittersweet to leave as it was like a home from home. A chaotic, fast paced, but lovable home :)

      Cons

      Leadership is something I know Zalando are addressing but its still a hangover from growing so fast and quickly. Communication a the company is not great sometimes I had 9 leads, and whilst I can personally take lessons from each one of them, I think 9 was too disruptive. (this was over a 4 year period with high growth in the business so some of it was inevitable.) If you do not like fast paced change, its probably not the right fit for you.
