Pros

I've been working there for almost four years now and have worked with people from basically every department. - open and relaxed culture - freedom to do your work as you want - high responsibility can be taken over - nice offices in central areas - free drinks and fruits

Cons

Zalando has improved a lot but there are still huge differences between the different business units - especially in terms of compensation, working climate, pressure of work, etc. - even in the better/best business units (e.g. Technology) there's still a lack of clear career paths - salary in those departments is quite good but especially for colleagues with older contracts it's often not competitive anymore (keeping the tremendous growth of the company in mind) - more and more policies and rules that make the daily work significantly slower (we consider our general concept as "radical agile" but actually I can't see agility anymore)

Pros

Great processes, use of technology, and one of the best DWH systems I have ever seen.

Cons

A cringy introduction week that feels like you've just joined a cult, lack of relevant training, given 'busy' work that served no business purpose, utter and extreme boredom, and the feeling that you are just a number.
