Pros

If you're in a good team, you'll have a good manager and a good salary - for some roles, Zalando pays above market average.

Cons

If you're not in a good team, you'll have a hard time as it is bureaucratic and confusing. It might also take you a long time to grow in the career. Recently, during a live all hands, one employee said they have been with the company for 10 years but they don't want to go back to the office (which Zalando said will happen in 2023). The CEO basically said to this employee who has been 10 years with the company that they are free to leave the company if they don't share the excitement🤡

Zalando Response

Thank you very much for your review. We’re pleased that you enjoy our compensation structure as we strive to pay competitively to the external market and fairly internally. Regarding our hybrid working model: after two years of predominantly work from home, we are aware of adoption needs, personal situations, and other factors for which we believe the best way forward is a moderate transition. That is why we decided to use this year to learn, understand, and gather feedback before moving to our desired target picture of a hybrid model that we have developed in the last months in close collaboration with our employees and works councils. We believe that collaboration of teams working together across disciplines and departments is at its best when people share moments together - whether in person or remotely and over distance. Our intention is therefore to combine the best of both worlds and find the balance where we can enjoy and benefit from flexibility on the majority of working days as well as the exchange with colleagues through a regular onsite presence. We have shared your feedback with leadership and the People and Organization team who plan to provide further guidance in the coming weeks. If you have specific questions about individual cases, you can also reach out to the People team directly. - Talent Acquisition Team
