Pros

When I first started at HelloFresh US, I was taking a risk by coming into a startup when I had spent over 10 years working for well-established companies. The first few months of working here were terrifying. It really is a test of how well YOU can manage yourself and work autonomous from everyone else to really make changes because nobody will do it for you. Do not get me wrong, you will get support from Harvard, Wharton, and MIT grads if you ask for help, but nobody will hold your hand along the way. I enjoy this environment where teams rally around a single cause. We have team members that fly across the country weekly to ensure that the operation runs smoothly in all distribution centers. The Co-CEO responsible for ops knows how to push you to the limit. He has an expectation in his mind of how well you can do that is based on a firm belief that he can get more from people than they believe they can get from themselves. The best work I have ever done has been with this company because of his constant expectation that I should expect more from myself. We have had former employees that could not create significant change and choose to move on to easier jobs. Best of luck to them.

Cons

No cons. I got everything I wanted out of working at HelloFresh and wish them the very best in the future.

Pros

- The business is growing fast and offers many opportunities for creativity and growth. - The office is full of young, but extremely talented and smart people who want to make a change. - Great company spirit thanks to very dynamic HR efforts -- Everyone is passionate and feels part of a family. Other perks: - Heavily discounted HelloFresh boxes, Friday lunches and many company outings every week. - 19 Days PTO (in addition to sick days) + great health insurance + 3 months paternity / maternity leave.

Cons

- The business is growing so fast it is difficult to maintain a reasonable work/life balance. Everyone works very hard, late at night, and sometimes on weekends. Many people work for 2 because the business needs grow faster than new hirings. Expectations for results are very ambitious and can cause a lot of stress. - Salaries don't reflect the level of responsibility and hard work everyone demonstrates. - The close relationship with the German headquarters and the lack of flexibility from the global teams can slow down progress and generate frustration.
