Pros

It's easy to coast if you wish for a decent salary Breakfast in the office

Cons

Where do I even begin? Working at Deliveroo took a serious toll on my mental health. It is a cut-throat environment rife with blame culture, where everybody is just covering their own skin and will gladly throw you under the bus. Management is toxic, condescending, and does very little. There are numerous cases of managers doing close to nothing. There are no long term career opportunities as promotion is a function of home visibile you are, not how impactful you are or how good a job you do.

Pros

The company is presented as a young and dynamic environment, at least from an external communication point of view.

Cons

Unfortunately, the internal reality is very different. Career progression mainly favors people who are close to management or who know how to please the right individuals, while meritocracy clearly comes second. Losing valuable employees does not seem to concern upper management at all. Many department heads lack experience and competence, which leads to constant issues, misunderstandings, and organizational problems that directly impact daily work and team morale. The company promotes itself as “young and dynamic,” yet hires employees over 60 whose experience does not appear to be properly assessed or effectively leveraged, creating a strong inconsistency between image and reality. Salaries are not competitive compared to the market. Salary increases and bonuses are very low and demotivating. Benefits are either almost non-existent or purely symbolic.
