      Pros

      The company is not a start up anymore, 10 years and >10k employees have created a fast moving corporation with huge ambitions. Zalando is moving very fast. I worked in many large tech companies before, but Zalando is 2 - 3 x faster than everything I've seen so far. The energy in the company is pushing people forward and exceed what they thought is possible. I get a lot of energy from working with really smart people every day.

      Cons

      As the company has grown from 200 to >10k employees in 7 years, some things are not ideal, but the company is making good steps in the direction of process standards and proper development. Overall normal things in a scaled company.

      Pros

      -Friendly environment with a lot of young, international people -Great place to start your career and learn the best online marketing practices -Well known and successful company, people are proud of working there -zTalks, where they founders are talking and answering employees questions

      Cons

      -No real growth opportunities, promotions are based on how long you have worked in the company, not on your performance -Poor team lead/senior management level. They are more like supervisors than actual leads. Micro management and lack of experience in leading people, which is creating a lot of conflicts. -High turnover, the most talented people are leaving easily as they are not valued enough -High hierarchy, sometimes too "German" to be an truly international company -No mobile phones, even though the job included a lot of external calls -On a company-level flexible working hours, home office days and trainings were promoted, but in reality team leads were now always allowing them

      Pros

      A modern company that cares about its image as an employer and retaining good talent, which means it does a lot to try keep employees happy and motivated

      Cons

      There are still shortcomings such as wanting to be like a startup with great flexibility and autonomy but actually has to function like a large company (bureaucratic)
