Pros

At least they have a website

Cons

Not long time ago, I posted a review for Zalando, describing the mobbing I was facing from my managers who had secretly changed my performance review record and got me fired. Zalando replied with a kind message asking me to report the issue to their internal whistleblower tool. Which I did. I wrote thousands of words with screenshots as evidences. After a couple of days, they replied to my report claiming that the described behavior is not agains their “standard”, without disclosing what types of investigation they did. TBH, I am not surprised, after all I have left Zalando already, who will take the risk and take the case seriously? It is an “internal” tool after all.

Cons

When i start working here i was happy with my manager that cared about my career and established a healthy team culture. when the manager left and replaced with the current one, i find myself being bullied out of the job by false accusations and insults. it was mentioned to me that if i quit and change companies i will be supported and if i change teams he will make sure to put a bad word for me to my next lead. I was also accused of doing passive aggressive comments to my teammates although after checking with every one of them they all have denied it. One teammate was persuaded to testify against me with false accusations to get me fired, luckily this teammate stayed professional and didn't do that. needless to say i'm lawyering up and i will defend myself against bullying even if i lost!!! My recommendation is to stay away from this company because such bullying behavior is allowed.

Many thanks for bringing this to our attention. We take what you say seriously, the described behavior is not what we strive to practice at Zalando and goes against our values and high standards. We have shared your feedback with our People & Organization team. We would appreciate your help with this and invite you to share further feedback via our anonymous whistleblower tool (https://www.whistleblowing-zalando.de), so we can investigate urgently and drive any improvements needed. - Talent Acquisition Team

Pros

Home office since the beginning of the pandemic

Cons

In this company being a capable engineer or doing your job well is almost irrelevant. The Diversity & Inclusion people being loudest every day, and engineers are given trainings on feminism, but not on tech skills. The new policy of promoting mostly girls to managers makes it almost impossible for men to be promoted, so if you're looking to become a team lead, look somewhere else.
