Avoid Graphics team at Lounge: Corruption, mobbing, discrimination, politics and inexperienced leads and HR
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Zalando is still a great place to work, offering numerous opportunities for personal and professional growth. And majority of Zalando employees are happy at where they are. However, your experience largely depends on luck, specifically the leadership and the department or unit you are a part of. Therefore, I would recommend avoiding Lounge, particularly the Demand department.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
All listed
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Investigate the problem deeper.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The office is nice, and some colleagues are great, but the culture at the Lounge is built on fear and politics, which eventually creates a toxic atmosphere
Kommunikation
You can make good connections and form some valuable professional friendships. However, the communication culture, especially in terms of employment, is often characterized by a lack of transparency and being misinformed, typically perpetuated by higher management and HR. This often leads to the adoption of corrupt practices to achieve objectives, even if they claim to uphold a 'code of ethics.'
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Terrible team spirit and lack of support for creativity. If you're a creative person, I would recommend avoiding working at Lounge as it can be draining for your talent. Furthermore, you may find yourself in a situation where relatively inexperienced 'creative leads' will be your superiors, critiquing your work very destructive or somehow shadow you.
Work-Life-Balance
Sometimes very busy sometimes it isn't
Vorgesetztenverhalten
I don't believe all supervisors at Lounge are the same (I've heard positive feedback from other teams as well), but it remains true that there's limited potential for a future or a career, and a lack of experienced individuals when it comes to meeting the standards of the fashion industry in terms of creativity. If you expect to advance in your career as a creative there is no any structure or way to do so
Interessante Aufgaben
There is none. Creativity and talent isn't appreciated at Lounge.
Gleichberechtigung
They should investigate deeper the discrimination. I will not disclose it here.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
There is not really older colleague. Very few
Arbeitsbedingungen
Toxic, biased and based on politics not your achivements
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
A lot lower than the -normal- market rates
Karriere/Weiterbildung
They claim you have educational budget for employees but eventually they find an excuse for you to not use it
