Cutting Edge Tech Stack, amazing colleagues, and a good work life balance
Dec 10, 2019 - Senior Software Engineer in Dublin, DublinRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The developer infrastructure at Zalando is the best I have ever worked with. The CI/CD platform in particular makes it easy to build and deploy applications to Kubernetes clusters running on AWS. There is little to no red tape, and teams are (within guidelines) permitted to choose the technology they deem most appropriate for the task at hand. The work life balance is great and I have never been pressured to work out of hours or weekends in my time here. They provide way more than average holiday days, and are flexible with both working hours and locations. I highly recommend Zalando as a place to work, have fun, and learn lots from extremely talented colleagues.
Cons
The organisational structure is regularly influx, and priorities can shift and change with little notice.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
- Good technologies - Good work / life balance - Good support for beginners: intensive onboarding, self-development plan - Working atmosphere is good - I would recommend company for beginners - the are a lot things to learn, good support by people leads, etc.
Cons
- All problems tend to be solved by hiring new people. You are just replaceable detail of huge system. To many people in general. See next points. - Salaries are low because of the first point. - There are a lot of unqualified people because of the first point. Therefore creativity and innovations exist rather on paper. "Great ideas" is about great people, not radical agility or some other process. - Very slow development process because of the first point: to many teams involved in implementation of each feature, to many meeting, to many alignments, etc. Innovation is about fast iterating, not creating detailed API-s upfront.

Dynamic, flexible work atmosphere
Nov 22, 2019 - Merchandise Planner in BerlinRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
I appreciate the flexible working hours that I can use at zalando. Being a mother of two girls and still working full time I need a company which lets me work individually and flexible. I also enjoy the support and Challenge I have experiences with my leads. I could always be open with my feedback and would have never feared to say something wrong. Last but not least I really cherish the dynamic work environment. It’s basically continuous change which motivates me and keeps me busy.
Cons
Actually I don’t have a lot to complain about. I think people often blame the company for things they should just fight for (such as a work life balance) themselves. We could definitely do a bit better in terms of sustainability and diversity however zalando is only a representation of society and at least we made a start here.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
work life balance is great
Cons
none that i found out
