RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Zalando full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Work/Life balance and facilities are good, more so in some offices than others
Senior management seem genuinely openCons
Atmosphere really changes between offices or even teams and areas within offices.
Performance Reviews are too heavily based on peer reviews so you can easily be torpedoed by a peer or someone unqualified can easily be pushed into a better position
Radical Chaos means people can do things without explaining themselves (and then torpedo people who ask questions in peer reviews, as mentioned already)
There didn't seem to be room for promotionAdvice to Management
More peer oversight, when you get peer feedback, challenge them as to why that feedback

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at Zalando full-time
Pros
Lots of responsibility early on, management by objectives, casual and relaxed atmosphere. 40 % discounts on shoes and fashion sold through the website. Free unlimited drinks including coffee, coke, juices. Frequent team events and big company parties. Expect a fast-paced working environment with lots of things going on every week.
Cons
Cramped offices without air conditioning, rigid hierarchal matrix organisation. Lack of break and cafeteria areas. Loud work environment due to open plan office. Strict NDAs creates lots of rumours and speculation about salary and bonuses. Only offered 1 year contracts.
Advice to Management
Make salaries transparent, make it hassle free to apply to other jobs internally. Make the lack of dress code (very casual wear) more clear. Enhance job security by offering longer than 1 year contracts.
