Pros

I was working in the head office of Deliveroo. Cannot think of any pros to be frank.

Cons

The environment is toxic and chaotic, you are excepted to be reachable every moment, day and night, everyone is in survival mode. High stress levels, with high likelihood of burnout. Very high turnover rates - they always looking for people for a reason. Lack of direction from the top, frankly some people in the senior leadership team have no idea what they are doing. It's all about the senior leadership's egos and working in silos - our team vs theirs. Us and them culture of old Deliveroo employees and newbies. Newcomers do not feel welcome. No onboarding whatsoever. A lack of empathy or boundaries - expect the slack messages to never stop. Delivering results is hard because of constant updates and documentation. Poor benefits - £12 Deliveroo credit per month.

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.
