People are hired only for the duration of their probation period - Anonymous employee Zalando Employee Review

This applies to the Zalando Lounge Tech team. The current CTO has been firing almost all new employees at the last day of their probation period since he started working here. People are gossiping a lot, all newbies are very stressed because of that and people are not motivated as they do not really believe that they will make it through the probation period. Rumor has it that the CTO just loves firing, nobody really knows why people get fired. And that is really sad for all the people who relocated to Berlin for Zalando.
