Pros

Some of the people working at Ocado Technology are brilliant engineers, as well as teammates.

Cons

All levels of management are quite poor. Product road map planning is a complete mess and every couple of months there is a "great" new vision for the next couple of years. Engineers are overworked and constantly asked to switch focus. Salaries are not very good and the company refuses to share salary ranges and benchmark data internally. You can guess why. Career progression for a software engineer is pretty much non-existent and promotion is based on you being liked by your peers and "promoting the company values", which are just a bunch of corporate kool aid, but there is rarely an appreciation of your technical expertise.

Great to read about your positive experience with the technology, the work environment and the learning opportunities. In terms of our share plan, we are putting efforts into this space. Just last week we announced a new share platform for our employees to make the experience smoother and easier for them. We also now have a dedicated team focused on share plans to maintain improvements in both the systems but also the offering.
