The most toxic environment I have ever worked in - Recensione dipendente - Software Engineer presso Zalando

Don't join logistics and algorithms department (even if it is the last option in your whole life) -Management plays people against each other -Management is afraid from your personal development, I got lots of resistance when I asked to get an online course or attend a conference in berlin, what I see is that they want to keep mediocre engineers to be easy to control them (and controlling them is more important than delivering results) -I can't tell which is lower the IQ level or the communication skills level of the (so called engineers) -I worked in 4 companies in 3 different countries, this is the most and only repulsive team I have ever joined, instead of supporting and providing a proper onboarding they let you slip and laugh at you (literally laugh this is not a metaphor) -People argue on personal reasons not on technical reasons. -People cluster on personal reasons, so you can purpose a good idea and it is being resisted by the whole team just because you are the newbie or they don't like you -Super low level technical discussions (should we use the same code style/format for the whole team ? or should we waste our life putting reviews for pull requests only based on personal code styles preferences ? does a frontend framework (like angular) have the capability to edit a text field ? does it have the capability to create a pop up ? should we create a simple authorization module for a micro service ? should we use an existing one ? or should we just hard code one admin account ?
