Pros

HelloFresh is a company in a rapidly growth phase and therefore it is sometimes hard not to forget about the well-being of the employees. In my opinion a lot of very promising initiatives have been started during the last couple of months and improvements have been made in a lot of areas. For example, they introduced a company wide review cycle at the end of 2018 which comes together with a objectives cycle for 2019. I really appreciate the possibility to receive feedback from my manager and to develop my skills business and personality wise. There is also an annual Happiness Survey so you can give feedback for your team, manager, the office and more. Other benefits are: a well organized German classes budget, team events, All Hands meetings every 6 weeks with the CEO + free lunch, new spacious and bright office areas, huge box discount, friendly environment and very nice colleagues in all different departments. Also nice to have: an employee newsletter with the latest updates and a very motivated Office Management team who is always there to support you.

Cons

Sometimes HelloFresh can be a very secretive environment which results in many rumours but no or late official communication. Another thing, the new and brighter office spaces are great but now the teams are more separated and it is harder to connect which each other.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
