Pros

- Very good culture, where people can contribute in a relaxed way - Stable (not a startup anymore), so if you land a nice job you can easily stay - Interesting benefit package (if you are a senior or above)

Cons

- Lack of processes for a company this size - no governance - Legacy (systems and people) are not changing fast enough - Leadership does a pretty bad job communicating

Nothing but a meat grinder

Pros

You'll meet a lot of Europeans and learn a lot about soccer.

Cons

The negative reviews tell you all you need to know about this place. Read them carefully. The work culture is inhuman and management is largely made up of Machiavellians, except they aren't very smart or cunning. This is the place where all the Europeans that admire American-style meritocracy capitalism go to work - people who feel stifled in countries that actively value employee well-being and promote work-life-family balance with robust employment laws. Firing people is a casual affair; badgering and tormenting are woven into the culture. There's no real diversity, despite lots and lots of lip service and inclusion theater. If you aren't a white guy from Europe, your chances of getting anywhere are close to nil. The business is booming and the company seems to be on its way to dominating the meal kit space. Don't be fooled by all the positive news in the business section. The growth and dominance isn't going to last. Customer churn is high and unsustainable. The quality of the ingredients is slipping and will continue to fall as they come up against serious supply and operational limits. Meal kits are a fad that will eventually be overtaken by home grocery delivery. Other, more well-resourced e-com companies are entering this space and will eventually dominate. This place operates on a burn and churn model, for both employees and customers. You might last a year or two, but eventually you will be just a pile of scrapple on the floor that gets swept up and tossed into the dumpster.

Pros

Employee discount, that's about it

Cons

Where do I even start There is no work life balance Management will give you an impossible assignment and when you ask about it they pretty much say oh well. Days off is a suggestion, on more times than I can count I was working for 8+hrs on my "day off" The drama is beyond ridiculous. Grown adults acting like they are on the Jerry Springer show I almost never felt safe, and when brought up to upper management they would laugh at you No respect No recognition No room for growth
