Pros

* A lot of challenging but cool tasks for many many improvements that can be done within the company that had very fast and non properly controlled development - you feel your value and satisfaction! * Politics of helping each other even if your own tasks are delayed because of that. * Fast feedback from most of the people along the whole organization, easy to reach. * Politics of everybody can speak and everybody will be listened. * Fast onboarding and jumping directly to interesting tasks * Organized qualification trainings * Friendly environment * Big discounts for HF boxes, gyms, free yoga classes, free drinks, snacks and fruits, and other benefits

Cons

* In the offices it's sometimes getting loud, many many people work in the same open space * Not enough meeting rooms * At the moment there is a lack in structure of business processes, integration, organizational moments, but it's normal for a company like this considering its very fast development, and a lot of work is being done to solve this problems

Hi! Thank you for this review! It’s given us much food for thought. We agree that the friendly, flat-hierarchy environment is a big plus and since we’ve recently put more effort into revamping our training offering it’s great to see you’re taking advantage of this! In terms of the meeting room issue, we are currently expanding our office space and working on internal initiatives to ensure existing spaces are being used in an optimal way. In terms of the lack of structure and processes, this is one of many areas we are trying to improve. We’re happy to see you’ve noticed our efforts and hope you’ll continue to be pleased with the progress we’re making here. Best, HelloFresh People Team

Pros

Flexible hybrid environment. In-office requirement is 50% of the month, but there is significant autonomy in how those days are scheduled (eg. you can decide to condense your in-office days the first 2 weeks of the month, and work remotely for the next 2 weeks).

Cons

1- Compensation (particularly base salary) is significantly below market. Reliance on RSU as a major component of the compensation package is problematic, given the company’s stock has severely plummeted over the last 5 years (and continues to do so). 2- Professional development is virtually non-existent. Internal promotions are rare (even for top performers) and highly political. 3- Constant reorganizations and frequent layoffs. It is difficult to feel secure in your position when entire teams are being phased out every few months. 4- Toxic and fear-driven culture. There is a prevalent culture of backchannel feedback and a palpable, constant sense of fear regarding job security and retaliation. 5- Unsustainable business model, still. Service is overly reliant on discounting and promotions, which has negatively impacted brand perception and long-term customer value. Path to sustainable growth is unclear. Leadership also doesn't seem to know what to do, as they frequently pivot strategy, with new directions introduced every few months (if not every few weeks). This lack of consistency creates a sense of instability and leaves teams feeling as though the company lacks a cohesive, long-term vision. 6- Leadership tone. Leaders often lack respect for both employees and the customer base (it is common for them to make derogatory and insulting comments in business meetings about customers who cancel their service).
