Thank you for leaving us a review and sharing your experience with the community. We’re sorry to hear that you feel there is a lack of leadership from our management team. We try to create transparency and take the time to keep all Zalando employees informed on our Zalando Group Strategy. We believe in continuous learning as a key to expand your skills and drive growth. In addition to general training, mentorship and coaching opportunities open to all employees, we offer leadership development programs for our leads. We would very much appreciate your help with this and invite you to share further feedback via our anonymous whistleblower tool (https://www.whistleblowing-zalando.de), or internally with the Talent Acquisition & Employer Branding Team. So that we can further investigate and drive improvement where needed, as the described behavior is not what we strive to practice at Zalando and we rely on each other to uphold the highest standards. - Talent Acquisition Team
