Nice blend of startup atmosphere and well-defined processes

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I've worked in small companies with a great atmosphere but rubbish processes, and large companies with great processes and rubbish atmosphere; but Deliveroo blends both of these positives together. Tech is treated as a first-class citizen and engineer voices are never ignored. The performance review process is transparent and everyone takes it seriously, dedicating time to ensure it's useful. There's also a healthy level of pragmatism amongst developers. Also rather nice is the agreement of "the right tool for the right job" no matter the financial cost; if the correct AWS product to use costs quite a bit, that's absolutely fine as long as it's the right choice - no penny-pinching there!

Cons

Career progression above Senior is very tied to your impact on the wider company outside your team, which can become quite time-consuming.

Pros

Relatively alright pay. You are treated well if you are their top performing employee ONLY. Else, you are always on edge because they come and tell you off everyday for anything.

Cons

Zero job security. Many co workers were told to leave the next day just because they had one bad day. Horrible team leaders in the company - zero consideration for new staff. Perks that were promised were not provided. Management did not provide enough opportunity /authority to work with and demands much more than that. Training staff were not helpful. Throws U in the deep end very quick.
