Senior management
Arbeitsatmosphäre
The atmosphere is at a freezing level.
Image
No good image. They prefer to hire young people only and get rid of the professionals. They even ask staff to use Kununu to post something positive, no joke!
Work-Life-Balance
Which life! Some people have plenty of free time, others work 24/7. Turnover of staff being at 22%. That says it all.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
They offer not a lot of training and why should they. People stay in average only 5 years with the company because of management, troublemakers, and work-life-balance
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
No career options given. Again, pretending they do (HR will sell it to you) but no options are available
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Pretending they do care but in reality they do not. Ran a bigger project to look cool on their website but project never received the funding it needed.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Colleagues are sticking together pretty okay. Mainly because they all face the same challenges and frustrations regarding management. The other thing is that many have a stock option plan and they want to keep it/sell it when the time is right.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Average age of all employees. approx 33. They prefer young people because of salary and the fact they don’t argue with management too much
Vorgesetztenverhalten
That’s the worst part. Logistics department tops number 1 in the list of management bad behavior. Mistreatments, being childish, running out of meetings, rude to females, are just a few examples
Arbeitsbedingungen
Sonnenstrasse 15 is a joke, as we all know
Kommunikation
Communication from top to down needs 100% improvement.
Gleichberechtigung
Some are making €90K, others €70K in similar positions. Head of’s are in the €120 to €140K range
Interessante Aufgaben
None. This company still runs as a start-up and such management changes direction and priority on a weekly level
Angestellte/r oder Arbeiter/inHat zum Zeitpunkt der Bewertung im Bereich IT bei zooplus SE in München gearbeitet.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Good colleagues.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Bad middle and upper management. Below-average salaries. No career progression. Very little choice in terms of tech.
Please don't trust what you are told in the interview, we are not agile, we are not modern, we don't have ownership over much, we don't use many moderns tools or programming languages. This is a bad company and you should not join it given the immense choice Munich has. This company does not deserve the engineers it has and people are starting to leave in droves (myself included).
Verbesserungsvorschläge
You need to revise your entire strategy of hiring and paying engineers a competitive salary should be a top point.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
A complete mess and chaos. There are no proper processes, there is no clear direction, focus or medium-long term plan and vision of the product. Since new management came along the processes have actually worsen. They want things done fast and they cannot be fast enough. Agile processes are thrown out the window in favor or waterfall, time estimates approach where you are suppose to finish a topic within the estimated time (and you have to estimate the effort which is then communicated to management).
Image
No idea.
Work-Life-Balance
OK in my department but others are worse.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Since new management came in, they slashed our educational budget. A lot of talk about career progression but no clear path or promotion. They always ask for more while giving little in return.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
They are below market average. NO salary progression for current engineers and the promotion scheme is an absolute joke and an insult. Stay away if you care at least a bit about salary. No other benefits.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
A lot of talk, not a lot of doing.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Great people, probably the only positive thing I can say about Zooplus.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
OK so far but I’ve not dealt with many.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Good personality, lacks experience.
Arbeitsbedingungen
We’re working remotely due to corona but the offices in S15 were OK.
Kommunikation
Bad. Upper management decides and the decisions flow top-bottom instead of there being a discussion.
Gleichberechtigung
OK
Interessante Aufgaben
Nothing interesting, the usual CRUD e-commerce shop with very little choice outside of Java and legacy JSP.
Thank you that you took the time for evaluation. We appreciate that you like your team and the colleagues. As the HR team we are always interested to get direct feedback. We have build a People & Organization Development team and therefore I wonder that you think we slashed the budget. Please feel open to contact us if you have ideas for improvement. Also I would like to mention our benefits like remote working, 20 % discount in our shop, discount platform for other shops, the tech equipment and others. We are open for suggestion how to improve and are looking forward to your contact in this regard. Have a good time and regards

Hat bei zooplus SE in München gearbeitet.
Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Zentrale Lage in München, daher gute Erreichbarkeit.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Arroganz des Führungspersonals, Micromanagement allerorten, weil den unterstellten Profis nichts zugetraut wird.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Wirkliche Profis an den Entscheidungspunkten haben, die keine persönliche Agenda verfolgen und ihre Untergebenen nicht drangsalieren.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Zumeist gut, wenn man die richtige Abteilung erwischt und Kollegen hat, die professionell und intelligent arbeiten und sich nicht von persönlichen Einstellungen leiten lassen.
Image
Groß, träge, voll auf Kosten sparen. Hierdurch werden einige Schritte in Richtung Modernisierung bewusst geblockt.
Work-Life-Balance
Kommt auf einen selbst drauf an, ob man sein Leben ausschließlich dem Job widmet.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
Interessierte mich nicht.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Gehalt vorhanden, ansonsten keine Benefits (Jobticket, diverse Programme wie Essensschecks etc.)
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
Viel Trara, relativ wenig Handfestes.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Auch hier kommt es darauf an, in welcher Abteilung man ist. In meiner Abteilung haben wir sehr stark zusammengehalten und aufeinander aufgepasst.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Je nachdem, wer der Vorgesetzte ist. Ich hatte zum Glück einen sehr guten direkten Vorgesetzten, aber der aktuelle Abteilungsleiter hat weder Ahnung vom Metier, noch versucht er, die Basics zu verstehen. Lieber wirft er Steine in den Weg, zieht die Kompetenz seiner Angestellten in Zweifel und tut alles, um den Fortschritt zu behindern.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Abgesehen von teils fehlender Klimaanlage ist alles okay. Die Technik wird gestellt, die Admins geben guten Support, und es gibt kostenfreie Getränke.
Kommunikation
Einiges erfährt man nur über den Flurfunk. Auch, wenn es hin und wieder Mitarbeiterversammlungen gibt, so erfährt man dort vor allem Selbstbeweihräucherung anstatt handfester Informationen.
Interessante Aufgaben
Für meinen Job waren die Aufgaben explizit abgesteckt, wodurch es für mich interessant wurde.
A company with a bright future is developing to a top employer!

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Every level of management is approachable for ideas. If you are ambitious you can really change a lot.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Not an employer for everybody. The company is no place for low paced unambitious people.
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Work more and standards and automation. Some processes are still really old school.
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Very good. Positive, friendly and enjoyable.
Image
People who know zooplus have a really good impression of the company.
Work-Life-Balance
Very good! No stupid leading by principles. If holidays are needed and there is somebody who can cover your tasks, holidays are being approved on short notice. The company is also flexible in many other matters. I have never felt unwelcome to ask for something, the company wants to help and wants its employees to be happy and healthy.
Karriere/Weiterbildung
No guided path but plenty of possibilities for the ones who want to develop. The company tries to support every individual development need.
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Salaries are not standardized, what can become frustrating. But good and hard work is recognized and salary increases can be openly discussed.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
The company is donating a lot of pet food, occasionally employees support animal related facilities. I am not aware of any activities targeting improving the environment. But! The company handled corona perfectly. They made home office mandatory from the very beginning and supported with office equipment for home office. They offered tests and made sure that everything is save and clean when being in the office. Keeping employees save and healthy was and is the managements highest concern.
Kollegenzusammenhalt
Very good. No fights, everything is professional. Before corona lots of activities and parties.
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
Everybody is being treated responsibility.
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Depends on the individual superior. Sometimes it takes too long to identify non-performer as well as in the management and in the professional staff. The company needs more experts and highly motivated people to cope with what’s coming. Narrow minds which just keep repeating what they learned 10 years ago are not innovative and future oriented enough for zooplus.
Arbeitsbedingungen
Great! Nice offices, well equipped meeting rooms. Good chairs, good coffee machines, free drinks. Full equipped kitchens. You can’t ask for more.
Kommunikation
Information can still get lost sometimes but the communication improved a lot. Regular updates of the C-Levels give a good insight on the strategy. On team level superiors can be sometimes overwhelmed by too many direct reports. A change in the organizational structure could help.
Gleichberechtigung
Did not hear of any issues. The company consists of a broad multicultural labor force and operates all over the EU. But employees are coming from all over the world and everybody is allowed to be as individual as they want to be.
Interessante Aufgaben
You can definitely grow your skills if you just want to. Changes between departments are possible. There is also nobody stopping you from running interesting projects even if they are not in necessarily in your field. There is no way of getting bored in this fast growing company, if you just have the slightest drive to improve things and if you are willing to look a bit beyond your daily tasks.

Gut am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Although the company is no longer quite so small, you still have the feeling that it is one big family.
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Nothing - I hope I stay a few more years
Verbesserungsvorschläge
Continue with what you have started - even a little faster sometimes
Arbeitsatmosphäre
Very good atmosphere, little departmental thinking, due to the fact that operational work is outsourced, you automatically have to think and work at a higher level.
Image
On the surface, the image may not be so good, BUT: Many colleagues who leave the company find great positions at other companies - market leadership and ecommere probably help a lot.
Work-Life-Balance
I don't like the word work-life balance as work is part of my life - what matters more to me is flexibility and here management offers as much as possible. this was the case during the hard corona phase and I have the impression it will remain so
Karriere/Weiterbildung
As described above, I have changed my area of responsibility several times in my time. I am no exception; many other successful colleagues have also made a career in the company. Of course, this cannot be planned. zooplus is not that big. But changes, even to other locations and positions, are generally made possible very often...
Gehalt/Sozialleistungen
Logistics doesn't usually pay that well - this is a big exception.... Munich, ecommerce and outsourcing make it possible - but I can only speak for myself.
Umwelt-/Sozialbewusstsein
The company is claiming to do a lot (and many initiatives are started); but I would wish higher speed and more external communication about this
Kollegenzusammenhalt
The biggest asset of the company - especially with all the different nationalities!
Umgang mit älteren Kollegen
see above
Vorgesetztenverhalten
Very good. Of course I wish for more, but realistically this is already very good - especially the feedback behaviour.
Arbeitsbedingungen
It is in the middle of Munich. It equipment is quite new. New home office rules will allow also more flexibility and more space - I am really happy
Kommunikation
a lot of effort is put into it, but of course there can never be enough communication.
Gleichberechtigung
There are no hierarchical boundaries. There is no differentiation between nationalities, religions or anything else. The diversity of the employees is phenomenal
Interessante Aufgaben
I was able to change my tasks several times during my employment and it was a step to interesting tasks every time. Change and hire-within, even for managerial functions, is lived. Of course, this cannot always be planned, but it is applied wherever possible.
