Pros

very skilled engineers, some interesting projects, good for your CV

Cons

Not any of the perks and benefits that you would expect from a tech company. No bonuses, no work from home policy, anachronistic management in Ocado Group which affects Ocado Tech as well. We are still discussing leaving non British employees to WFH even for one day in their home countries and get dishonest answers about accounting problems. I would generally not recommend it, especially to non British employees.

Ocado Group Response

Thank you for your feedback. Working internationally is a complex area that requires a lot of time investment from specialists in global mobility, tax, employment law and health and safety (among others!). We aim for a fair and consistent approach across Ocado Group. We are also continuing to open global offices as a result of our OSP deals, and we already have 8 European Dev Centres with many open vacancies and roles that an employee may apply for and relocate. We are reviewing our policies around both office working and working abroad, and hope these will become more robust and competitive as we continue to develop in these areas.
