HelloFresh reviews

Literally contracted pneumonia twice within 8 months of working there. Extremely unsafe work environment

Severe lack of talent and organization. Department to department goals are not aligned, often causing other teams projects to impede on another’s. Less than competent departmental leadership who are usually only in their positions due to tenure rather than talent or ability. Company preaches the “egoless environment” but I’ve never seen bigger egos in my life. The same leaders love to push back on innovative tools or projects they don’t understand simply out of fear of change or because they like to hear themselves say no. Favouritism and cliques as bad as in a 7th grade schoolyard. Good luck during performance reviews, as they are done on a literal bell curve. Employees are told to “strive for a 3”, but only those given 4.5 or above will receive title bumps and/or raises that even meet inflation. Not to mention that being in the cliques and Cool Kids Club makes one more eligible for a rating above a 3. No leeway for employees to advocate for themselves regarding salary or title bumps. Upper management preaches their love of feedback, yet when it’s given, they hold meetings to tell employees why they shouldn’t feel that way rather than ingesting the feedback and making any meaningful change. Very much a culture of one team’s lack of planning being offloaded as an emergency on another team’s part.
