Poor decision making by leadership, inaction and chaos - Recensione dipendente - Head presso Zalando

The culture without Jim Freeman is bad, which is unfortunate. No strong vision for the culture of the company, no positive role modeling by leaders. Bias towards inaction and lack of accountability, even among senior leaders. Many critical decisions affecting teams are made without any involvement or input from the teams themselves, which really takes away agency and sense of ownership in work. Very challenging to get cross-functional projects off the ground when many stakeholders are unwilling to collaborate because they don't see it as their responsibility. No direction from leadership to ensure cross-functional projects are executed. In fighting between board areas. No charisma from board members, at all. HR Business partners would rather let teams languish without leadership for months at a time instead of making decisive hires. Hybrid work rollout was a disaster, with little guidance and ultimately a toothless plan. Huge waste of everyone's time and energy, and lost good team members because of it.
