Pros

Inspiring and ambitious goals, lovely office space, great colleagues, tons of social events, well organised in general.

Cons

Very different cultures across different departments. I worked cross-departmental. Tech was excellent, and Radical Agility is great - the working environment is lovely and you feel respected Other departments are slightly juvenile and and the inspiring talks/initiatives from the leaders felt forced and quite often patronising, and just didn't resonate with me at all. Feedback culture could definitely be improved - the current set-up is quite confronting and caused our team a lot of problems. Having a HR team that's not recruiting would be very beneficial - it exists in tech - everyone has a "people lead", but the rest of the company don't have that luxury.

Pros

Great place to start or elevate a career in digital marketing and/or fashion. For the proactive person there is a lot of opportunities to learn and network. Zalando is on a great path and will have a great future.

Cons

As the company is getting larger it is less easy to have an overview of it and all its functions.

Pros

If you are lucky you can find good colleagues and a nice work environment. Free drink and party. nothing more.

Cons

Middle management is not adequate, sometimes lack of professional culture and meritocracy. The company culture is creative and flexible most of the times only on the paper. It is still a huge start up, not a real company.
