Farmdrop Reviews

Unfortunately after a number of senior management hires, a significant drop in happiness was felt by almost everyone I spoke to working within the company. This happened around 6 months prior to the Series B raise. We moved from our much loved office space in Bermondsey to a modern but clinically boring and depressing office space in Old Street. Substantial pressure was applied to deliver new features and we were constantly informed on a weekly basis that targets were not being met in regards to our key metrics. The focus on what we needed to deliver felt wrong and was a feeling shared between peers. Despite communication between the engineering team and upper management, nothing changed. The CEO (Ben Pugh) almost disappeared and was rarely ever seen in the office, with responsibility of running the company handed to the MD who simply didn't understand how to motivate and excite the team like Ben did. Social activities began to dwindle and it almost felt like a responsibility for the employee's to arrange events and things to do. If it wasn't for the amazing team and the close friends I made at Farmdrop, I would have left much, much sooner.

Managers who continually bully colleagues find themselves promoted ! Certain members of head office most notably supply chain cannot handle constructive criticism and advise . Then proceed to make complaints to get hub management sacked ! Only apply to work here if you are willing to listen to senior management talk about there weekend adventures all week !!!!
