Pros
Zalando is quite diverse. every team is own universe - Great and creative engineers - Tech freedom - 360 feedbacks - if it is done right . I see constant improvement of process
Cons
My experience is mixed from one side big and cool challenges from another side politics, unprofessional middle managment. It is the first place we I see that: - Head of the project or department ignore developer and share idea that this folks ern to much - Scream on people. create a culture of fights and self-protect. Total ignorant I was totally burned out after few projects (2 years) ~ After speedo a lot of techs has non-tech leaders that simply don't care - Zero level up or salary review after 2+ years even after project delivery from scratch in an unrealistic schedule. Another person gets promoted for a work that never did. - Visibility of your contribution - it is hard.
