Pros

You get the joy of cooking without the stress of traditional kitchens, surrounded only by fellow chefs who offer lots of valuable knowledge and friendly conversation. The work can be intense at times, and the volume of the prep can feel arduous but there is also a sense of reward considering you see all the food through to the plate.

Cons

At the time I was there, it was competitive getting access to ovens and even sheet pans and rolling carts. I don't know if it has gotten better or worse, as when I was leaving many new chefs were joining the fray. Also, despite loving the work, the pay was far too low to see it as a viable long term option.

Pros

I’ve had a really positive experience working at CookUnity. The culture is one of the strongest parts of the company — it’s collaborative, open, and genuinely supportive. People here care about doing great work, but they also care about each other. Leadership is approachable and open to feedback. There’s a real willingness to listen and adjust, which makes you feel heard and valued. I’ve felt supported both professionally and personally, and there’s a strong sense that we’re all working toward something meaningful together. It’s a fast-paced environment, but in a good way — there’s energy, ownership, and a lot of opportunity to make an impact. If you enjoy collaboration, transparency, and being part of a team that’s building something ambitious, this is a great place to be.

Cons

Things evolve quickly as the company scales, so you need to be comfortable with change. That said, it creates a lot of opportunity to have impact.
