Pros

No pressure, you can relax and read newspapers the whole day if you want

Cons

If you like technology, Zalando is NOT your place. Zalando is focusing on engineer-bureaucrats and mediocre engineers. You will spend 90% of your time going through spam emails, trying to make any sense in the communication and structure chaos. Any tech decision is made from top to bottom, leaving most of the engineers no room for freedom whatsoever. Legacy, legacy and oh, more legacy code that nobody knows about.
