Pros

Zalando has fairly competitive pay for tech roles. You also get 40% discount on most items in the shop.

Cons

Poor leadership and lack of strategy. Very hierarchal and people just execute on what they think the higher-ups want without thinking about if it is a problem worth solving or the business impact. It is more important to look good, than to do good things. Very political and does not live their cultural values. Going through a huge change with a lack of leadership and strategy which leads to increased amounts of politics. Not a culture that favours high performance. Quality of talent is mediocre.
