Pros

Ultra modern, liberal and technologically innovative company. Great product. Huge potential.

Cons

Outdated engineering mindset and practices push world class talent away from Zalando. There's no sense of urgency and things are done soooo slowly so the responsiveness of the company to competition and market conditions is poor. Political. "I'll take care of you and you take care of me" mentality drive good people away. Zalando became a place where people come to get title and experience, and once they do, they move on. Normally within 1-2 years.
