Pluspunten

Great PTO, lots of snacks, good benefits

Minpunten

HelloFresh is the classic good ol' boys club. There is zero racial diversity at HelloFresh HQ in New York and they treat race like a taboo secret society that no one can ever talk about. They use the distribution centers and sales and brand teams to boost their diversity numbers. The executive team is 100% white and male. The senior leadership team is not much better. The culture at HelloFresh reflects this. White men are promoted very quickly, white women are hired very often (I think there are more women than men working at HelloFresh)--but they are rarely promoted, but Black employees are almost never promoted or hired at HQ except for the occasional "token", who they will use over and over to send important messages to make it look like they care about their Black employees. After the George Floyd incident, the CEO sent out a generic message that didn't even mention the word Black and basically took the All Lives Matter stance. Lots of employees were upset and they ended up asking the Black and hispanic employees to help them fix it... A few Black employees that were really involved in diversity etc. just quit because of this and I know a lot more are looking for other jobs. Almost all of the recruiters are white and privileged and tend to bring in people who are exactly like them, so the cycle continues. I bet anyone who left a positive review on this company is not Black. Like almost all Black employees at HelloFresh, I will be leaving as soon as I get a better job offer.

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).
