Pros

There are no pros to this company

Cons

They are hiding honest reviews about honest employee experiences They hide behind a front of social events, Friday bars, vibrant environment however underneath it all it is an awful place to work if you actually care about your job or career progression As other reviews have said, progression is based on favouritism. Managers are in sexual relationships with employees who are then working their way up much faster and without having to apply or interview, meanwhile other staff who want to work up are subjected to rigorous interviews or overlooked completely. The C level management have made female employees and BAME employees cry in front of other staff due to discriminatory comments and then made jokes about it. Nothing was ever done about this. Drugs and alcohol being misused in the office until late hours then mess being left for other staff to tidy after them. Mental health totally disregarded and people advised to just work from home if they can’t cope with the office environment. If you have any respect for yourself and your future career prospects this is not a company for you.

Pros

-The staff that don't brown nose are lovely and hard working. Free food on a Friday, but if you had the later starts on customer support you missed out as the other departments didn't want to wait for you with their schedule vs yours. Trips to Denmark - appear to only happen if you are upper management now,

Cons

-Cross department and market communication is abysmal, it was before the pandemic, during the pandemic, and after in the reopening phases. -They use the statement that ….. they are a young business and will make mistakes as an excuse to justify their poor structure. The employee handbook is vague at best and useless to help you protect yourself in the job, but the ambiguity of its wording works in management’s favour. -People being named for promotions based on favouritism prior to internal positions being advertised, beyond brown nosing sleeping with someone in a department you want work in is the next best thing for stepping up the corporate ladder. However, speak to the wrong person about a genuine problem and you’ll be thrown under a tram. -Excessive staff parties within the office throughout the pandemic, breaching lockdown recommendations, with complete disregard for the only department that worked until late = Customer Support -Drug use and excessive alcohol consumption in the office, class A and B drugs used by departments that were clocked off partying whilst customer support still worked - Gross misconduct appears to be defined as: any employee that wishes to both implement and endorse best practice and staff side support. A necessary evil for a productive and effective workforce. The impact that job dissatisfaction has is excused or even rewarded, team morale is measured by the volume of alcohol you can drink or coke you can snort on company premises. - all other departments seemed to be prioritised for hiring to meet targets, whereas Customer Support was left to struggle even when demand was beyond manageable. The art of departmental management is to offload departmental workload and expectation onto Customer Support. It’s like a game, when the music stops… how little can your department achieve…. YAY! You win! Other department managers kept expecting Customer Support to take on more of their departments minor tasks to free their staff up for hitting targets – Oh how we laughed! Customer Support is treated with such contempt by management that when a support agent suffers abuse, sexism,homophobia and foul language, there is no process for dealing with it, no policy and no procedure for escalation. If you fancy a culture shock, enjoy a demeaning and thoroughly debasing conversation then Customer Support in OrderYOYO is the place to be, it has taken months to regain my self-respect and confidence. -Complete lack of mental health support, almost disapproving of staff whose mental health suffers as a result of the lack of management action. Sexism, racism and homophobic comments from managers are all par for the course. -I.T. just doesn’t have it! LOL! It had no structure or deadlines resulting in a business that was setting huge targets with NO improvement or upgrades to the product being provided in terms of back-end interaction, customisation and functionality - For sales they seem to have disregarded the fact that it would get harder to meet targets due to the lack of product improvement. Partners can’t even notify a customer when their food has gone out for delivery. - Poor consideration for clients, the launch for some of them is so rushed they barely understand what they have signed up to let alone realise they have gone live online. – Customer Support and Field staff then deal with most of this frustration - No proper GDPR. No fail safes or clear processes to handle or prevent potential instances of money laundering that were flagged. -Restaurant customers will call expecting Support to fix the issues they may have with a restaurant, these calls can become abusive and can be a demeaning experience with little upper management support in dealing with them. The Team Leaders helped where they could - but because they were female and did not have ‘Manager’ in their title a lot of customers always demanded someone higher up. -Concerns are met with excuses or insistence that you should always bring your own solution, even though that gets shot down most of the time too, or your idea gets passed off as someone else’s. -OrderYOYO never seems to learn from past-experience, the benefit of hindsight is non-existent in this company. Ex-Employee reviews seems to get flagged or removed so I’ll just wait for this one to disappear too!

Pros

Depending on what department you were in you might get sent to the head office in Denmark. Free lunch (but if you worked usual hours but if you support and started at 12 or 1 you missed out on that)

Cons

So many Drug consumption on-premise, exessive alcohol consumption on-premises No care for customers, only hitting targets Often put customers live without them even knowing just to hit numbers. The end of the month was a hellscape as the BDMS and Onboarders rushed and struggled to hit their monthly target after dossing off all month and shagging each other. A majority are shagging each other Illegal covid superspreader parties in the office during the lockdowns C level management actively having affairs with other members of staff Male run and controlled in the UK (Denmark isn't much better, 3 higher management staff are women) Sexism, racism, homophobia, and transphobia run pretty rampantly throughout the office as a casual thing. 2 members of management were removed for it after multiple complaints which even then was a big struggle because they were close with higher management No HR No learning from hindsight If you don't party with them you don't get promoted You HAVE to brown-nose to get promoted They make you take on other responsibilities for your role but not compensate you properly for it Training and onboarding for the role is atrocious No proper GDPR process Lack of communication between departments They use the excuse of being a small business and being a family when they are neither a small business nor a family. If it was a family they'd be the type that got a social worker involved multiple times. Pretty sure higher levels of management in the UK has a sugarbaby on the low rungs. If you're an attractive women who also parties you get to stay in your role regardless of how bad you actually are at your role, but guys just get let go. If you question their morals and their tagline you get let go. BDMs penalised when upper management removed their clients with no warning. Because of their lack of care for customers, the amount of verbal abuse and threats on the lives of support and other members of staff get is insane. IT/product developement department have no clue what they're doing. That department are in Denmark so they have no notice of the UK market. They had a "roadmap" which they were meant to follow but they didn't follow it which lead to a 3 years delay in an upgrade. They have the very obvious rule of "if I can't see it, it doesn't exist". No consideration for when a product or update gets released. I saw them release an update on friday evening and leave, letting customer support deal with calls full of verbal abuse and threats for the whole weekend then come back on monday with the response of "We didn't know it'd be this busy" They work with the hospitality sector where the busiest days are the weekend. Following on with that, because all of the IT department was in Denmark when their biggest market (UK) had an issue they were really slow to respond because again, it doesn't really affect them so it mustn't exist. There was clients clearly money laundering through the system and yet management did absolutely nothing to stop it or prevent it. I'm sure there are other things to say but that's it for now
