Pros

I really enjoy working at Ocado Technology, it has a friendly atmosphere, great people and has plenty of complex and interesting challenges. I like the fact that at Ocado the problems we’re solving are very real and tangible. New starters can go out on a buddy route with a driver delivering shopping and visit the customer fulfilment centres where the orders are picked. Ocado Technology has a real focus on its core values which are Trust, Collaboration, Craftsmanship, Autonomy, Learn Fast & Leadership. If like me you enjoy working in an open trusting environment then this is great. I’ve learnt a huge amount since starting Ocado and have been delighted by how much autonomy I’ve been given in how I perform my role. The majority of people that work in technology have a technical background, all the way up to the CTO, this is a huge positive in comparison to others companies I’ve worked for. The Leadership team really do understand the challenges the teams face day to day. If you are passionate about embracing continuous improvement in both yourself and the way your team works you will enjoy Ocado Technology.

Cons

While salaries may not be amazing the people and work are!

Pros

Using up-to-date technologies like Java 8, Akka, Scala. Interesting project related to Robotics, Data Science, Machine Learning. Very good company culture, friendly colleges, high autonomy at work, supportive mangers. Investing very heavily on high tech robotics and software engineering. Definitely putting in the financial effort to be among the big name tech company's. Rent wise Hatfield and the surrounding areas are cheaper and less hectic than London which is good for families.

Cons

Some hi-tech projects forming, thus lots of experimenting can go on before settling on the right technology.

Pros

I am encouraged to learn new technologies and skills which are used to contribute back to the company. I am given the time and the freedom to develop the knowledge and skills not just in my area but in other areas of the company. Get to work with team members who support each other well. Get to work in a relaxing environment. Great company values. Nice and quiet location in Hatfield. (This is a plus for me, but others may have different views about this.)

Cons

No negatives for me so far.
