Avantages

You'll meet a lot of Europeans and learn a lot about soccer.

Inconvénients

The negative reviews tell you all you need to know about this place. Read them carefully. The work culture is inhuman and management is largely made up of Machiavellians, except they aren't very smart or cunning. This is the place where all the Europeans that admire American-style meritocracy capitalism go to work - people who feel stifled in countries that actively value employee well-being and promote work-life-family balance with robust employment laws. Firing people is a casual affair; badgering and tormenting are woven into the culture. There's no real diversity, despite lots and lots of lip service and inclusion theater. If you aren't a white guy from Europe, your chances of getting anywhere are close to nil. The business is booming and the company seems to be on its way to dominating the meal kit space. Don't be fooled by all the positive news in the business section. The growth and dominance isn't going to last. Customer churn is high and unsustainable. The quality of the ingredients is slipping and will continue to fall as they come up against serious supply and operational limits. Meal kits are a fad that will eventually be overtaken by home grocery delivery. Other, more well-resourced e-com companies are entering this space and will eventually dominate. This place operates on a burn and churn model, for both employees and customers. You might last a year or two, but eventually you will be just a pile of scrapple on the floor that gets swept up and tossed into the dumpster.

Avantages

There are some genuinely nice people here but that is the only real positive. Even they are slowly leaving because the culture has become too toxic to stay in.

Inconvénients

Highly political culture with no real promotions. Leadership is insecure, ego driven, and more focused on protecting themselves than supporting employees. Micromanagement is constant, communication is poor, and priorities shift without explanation. Quiet layoffs happen with no transparency and usually protect the same small group. The new US marketing lead has made the culture even worse. He was difficult to work with before and has only become more problematic in a higher role. There is constant questioning, no clear vision, and nonstop steering that sends teams in circles. It is hard to understand how he keeps moving up the ladder despite repeated negative scores and consistent employee feedback. Independent analysis, including the Grizzly Research report, highlights similar issues such as unstable leadership, lack of direction, and a business that feels like it is declining. What the report describes matches what employees experience inside the company. Even if the CEO or HR choose to ignore these problems, they remain the reality employees deal with every day.
