Pros
No delivery charge for employees ordering Deliveroo (still pay service fee & food cost)
Cons
Main thing to be aware of is that Deliveroo isn't a tech or logistics company like its competitors, so good engineering / solving interesting tech problems isn't valued. Bad culture, people generally unfriendly. Maybe just because the company is quite large now and is not a small startup: it feels quite corporate and hierarchical. Deliveroo lobbied against Lombardy government shutting restaurants to combat COVID-19. People too worried about productivity to collaborate: eating at desks, if you need to ask someone something you probably have to make an appointment with them on a later day which blocks your team's work. Too many managers. People like to make complaints about nonsense behind each others' backs. "Frugal": Training budget has been completely removed, new cafeteria overpriced, perks are worthless. Snacks are rationed and released only at certain times where everyone must rush to grab snacks like animals or miss out. Very distracting, noisy, open office with people video-calling at their desks and events happening in the middle of the office. While there are onboarding presentations, nobody will help show new starters how the different Deliveroo systems work so most people had no knowledge about how stuff works. Don't believe anything they tell you at interview. There's nothing special about working here (maybe there was a while ago).
