Pluspunten

When I first started at HelloFresh US, I was taking a risk by coming into a startup when I had spent over 10 years working for well-established companies. The first few months of working here were terrifying. It really is a test of how well YOU can manage yourself and work autonomous from everyone else to really make changes because nobody will do it for you. Do not get me wrong, you will get support from Harvard, Wharton, and MIT grads if you ask for help, but nobody will hold your hand along the way. I enjoy this environment where teams rally around a single cause. We have team members that fly across the country weekly to ensure that the operation runs smoothly in all distribution centers. The Co-CEO responsible for ops knows how to push you to the limit. He has an expectation in his mind of how well you can do that is based on a firm belief that he can get more from people than they believe they can get from themselves. The best work I have ever done has been with this company because of his constant expectation that I should expect more from myself. We have had former employees that could not create significant change and choose to move on to easier jobs. Best of luck to them.

Minpunten

No cons. I got everything I wanted out of working at HelloFresh and wish them the very best in the future.

Pluspunten

Flexible hybrid environment. In-office requirement is 50% of the month, but there is significant autonomy in how those days are scheduled (eg. you can decide to condense your in-office days the first 2 weeks of the month, and work remotely for the next 2 weeks).

Minpunten

1- Compensation (particularly base salary) is significantly below market. Reliance on RSU as a major component of the compensation package is problematic, given the company’s stock has severely plummeted over the last 5 years (and continues to do so). 2- Professional development is virtually non-existent. Internal promotions are rare (even for top performers) and highly political. 3- Constant reorganizations and frequent layoffs. It is difficult to feel secure in your position when entire teams are being phased out every few months. 4- Toxic and fear-driven culture. There is a prevalent culture of backchannel feedback and a palpable, constant sense of fear regarding job security and retaliation. 5- Unsustainable business model, still. Service is overly reliant on discounting and promotions, which has negatively impacted brand perception and long-term customer value. Path to sustainable growth is unclear. Leadership also doesn't seem to know what to do, as they frequently pivot strategy, with new directions introduced every few months (if not every few weeks). This lack of consistency creates a sense of instability and leaves teams feeling as though the company lacks a cohesive, long-term vision. 6- Leadership tone. Leaders often lack respect for both employees and the customer base (it is common for them to make derogatory and insulting comments in business meetings about customers who cancel their service).
