Pluspunten
Shelf Engine reduces food waste by millions and millions of pounds. Its founder identified this problem when they were running a food company. Many startups talk mission - this company lives it. Not only does Shelf reduce food waste and mitigate environmental harm from all the resources used to (over) produce food, but the core business model is such that the company only makes money if/when it fulfills its food waste reduction mission. Other pros include a world class team, including some of the most distinctive business leaders, data scientists and engineers. The company is a rocket ship, growing at >4x per year, and signing massive deals with the largest retailers in the US. Rapid expansion is creating rapid career development, as the company's leadership team has added tons of new folks (some internal promotions, others external hires). If you want to work at a fast paced, mission driven company that is well financed by Tier 1 VCs and values rapid career trajectory, Shelf is a great option
Minpunten
Minimal cons beyond the standard growing pains of hyper growth co, meaning Shelf needs to put in place the tools, systems and processes to better manage its growth. Pace of work definitely intense, so its the best fit for folks that want to find a purpose in their work and who value rapid impact and career progression over a 'punch the clock' role.
