Pros

nice office, if you're into that.

Cons

It started off well, but I eventually had to leave due to the lack of opportunities for progression. No matter how well you performed, it was always the same story. The RTO policy was managed incredibly poorly. The low point was when the Chief People Officer scolded everyone like a headmaster for not following the policy, revealing that they had been secretly monitoring it all along. I've come to realise it was naive to expect a positive experience from an employer that treats both its riders and customers so poorly (just take a look at Deliveroo's TripAdvisor score). Given that, why would the experience be any different for an employee?

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.
