Pros

Innovative product and company with a positive ethos.

Cons

Owners with no clue of how to manage and grow a team. Overbearing, micro-managing. Poor decision making. Not using the experienced and skilled staff they have hired, instead insisting on doing things their way.

A great product can only be the result of great execution, but thank you for your feedback!🙏 Being an anonymous comment, it’s hard to know whether this is genuine. Regardless we will respond in good faith. Sunfed is a purpose-driven company with a bold and unwavering mission to reimagine the global food system, starting with animal protein. We are here to flip the status-quo, and as such we are a team of high performing misfits committed to radical action and making a real difference. Being a novel hard tech manufacturing startup, Sunfed is a fast-paced highly dynamic environment that is no small feat and not for the faint-hearted. We look for driven athletes who love difficult problems, thrive off challenges, and can execute with pace, passion and intelligence. We have a culture of sincere, honest and transparent comms and are very upfront in our job ads and interviews. Please do not exaggerate and misrepresent your skills during recruitment as this can lead to a mismatch with our high performing team and with you feeling out of your depth.

Pros

I’ve been a part of Sunfed since the early R&D days when we didn’t know we could make Chicken Free Chicken but we were not going to stop trying! I remember the Founder & CEO being on the production floor with us doing the work alongside us. I have seen her literally build this company from nothing into something very special that is lighting up the world. The CEO and management are not ‘checked-out’, they are very much engaged with all aspects of the business and actively work hard to continuously innovate and grow Sunfed. They encourage and empower open comms with the team and problem-sharing to fuel continuous improvement. When covid-19 happened, management responded strongly very early and ensured comprehensive safety protocols over and above Sunfed’s already strict protocols were implemented quickly. Being an essential business, the CEO herself was onsite everyday all through covid-19 to ensure things were in order. They worked hard around-the-clock to ensure Sunfed could safely keep running at full pace so everyone, especially production workers could maintain their income through covid. The CEO even arranged for daily food to be made for staff all through alert levels 3 & 4 when takeaways had closed! Sunfed is new and different and some may find this challenging. I enjoy learning and growing here everyday, and I am very proud to be part of something that is leaving the world better than it found it.

Cons

Fast-paced startup environment, need the ability to think on your feet and wear multiple hats.
