Pros
Globally minded company Very big on the idea of innovation (note: big on the idea) Very ambitious Good platform for growth There are learning and development opportunities Zalando is open to new ideas Great opportunities @ Zalando if you have a good team to build with The main office is in a great location Summary: Ideal for juniors and entry-levels entering into the workforce. Also ideal for Senior-level and department heads who want experience leading in a global company. Not deal company for mid-level professionals who have experience working in advanced cities and global brands
Cons
Very poor management Unrealistic expectations Very poor - horrendous - recruitment/HR teams Lack of transparency No form of staff incentivisation or employee recognition Very mechanical mentality No real focus or direction Zalando is company that wants to be first in everything, and it will, but it lacks soul They seem to think there is some mathematical solution to becoming a 'Love brand' Zalando positions itself as innovative, but if you have worked in other global companies (specifically in UK/North America) or have spent time around truly innovative people, then Zalando will be less than stellar to you in terms of what they think vs what they actually are. One one hand, you have very forward thinking people, and on the other, you have some of the most analog (basic) or incompetent people who manage to float along in the company
