Pros

Ocado Technology and its highly-talented engineers never stop learning. They're constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible and innovating at every step. From senior management to junior engineers, Ocado Technology understands just how important the technology that powers the business is. Combined with a vibrant culture that strives to create the best possible work environment. Ocado Technology is an excellent place to work.

Cons

Whilst Ocado Technology does everything it can to make the head office location easily accessible, it's can be somewhat awkward for those living in London.

A constantly evolving and innovative company working on a huge range of technology projects

Pros

Ocado Technology never fails to bore. With projects ranging from robotics, custom wireless protocols, highly performant real-time control software and industry leading e-commerce sites and mobile apps, there is something for everyone. Everyone is afforded a generous amount of autonomy and there is next to no red tape. Somehow, even with about 1000 technology employees, it still feels like a start-up, such is the level of constant innovation and evolution.

Cons

Ocado Technology is hugely ambitious. With a lack of employees to achieve everything we'd like to, this can sometimes translate to frustration. In addition, the broad range of projects and disciplines leads to a technology department which sometimes feels disjointed and siloed, despite the best efforts of the management team.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review, and thanks for the great feedback about the culture and tech. Looking at your Cons comment, we are hiring at a very fast rate so hopefully you'll start to notice some of these pressures ease soon.
