Pros

- 40% discount on clothes in Zalando's store - free drinks (water/soda/coffee) - free fruits

Cons

- messy environment, unclear structure - no career path - lack of access to external trainings - known cases where relocation costs were promised to be returned but then HR pretended that they know nothing about these agreements - still very german company at its roots (although there are more and more people from around the world coming each day the higher positions are mostly occupied by Germans) - unequal treatment: some get opportunity to go on conferences, others don't; some get opportunity share their opinions, others don't; some get the right to evaluate new tools and technologies, other don't; some can work on a "new cool things" other have to maintain the old crap (usually started by "privileged ones"); etc. That being said I believe that Zalando has no other way to go than to go up (but this is mostly because of its business model and market needs than the way the company operates).
