A lot of nice PR talk, to cover the tremendously intransparent, rigid, bureaucratic, top-down, uncreative culture. - Senior Software Engineer Zalando Employee Review

Pros

- There's a works council since a couple of years, putting some effort on many areas. It may take time, but maybe they can improve some things.

Cons

- Needless meeting focused culture (that claims the opposite) - Intrasparent management (choices that impact all of us are often made behind closed doors and without sufficient justification) - Lots of pressure, and eventually not a family friendly work place (despite claims to the opposite) - Specialists/individual-contributors (i.e. non management) have no way to grow or advance, and (the often unimpressive) raises have to do with how much your boss likes you. - Often uninteresting work - Contributing to making even larger, one of the most polluting industries
