Great People, Huge Potential

Pros

As a tech-enabled *food* company, food comes first, so: -Lots of great food around the offices -Passionate group of foodies -Colleagues are some of my best personal friends -Lots of loyal "old timers," who are flexible SO MUCH POTENTIAL: FD as at the forefront of the disruption of traditional supermarket/grocery, and rivaled really only by Ocado in terms of scale and expertise. The opportunity for just the "base" business is massive, let alone add-ons like same-day. CAREER OPPORTUNITY - if you do a great job, you will be rewarded with new challenges. If you're able to sell your vision cross-functionally, no will stop you from realizing it. HARD PROBLEMS - attract some really smart people and solving them provides a real sense of achievement 20% Employee discount New world-class campus and facility in the Bronx Highly marketable experience for roles in CPG, Retail, Manufacturing, or Ecommerce

Cons

Some growing pains: red tape popping up and more concern about "how we work" and "what roles are" that can prevent us from just getting stuff done No strong vision/leadership in tech product management As a business built on next-day service fulfillment - there can be a lot of fire-drills

Pros

FOOD focused! Employees are passionate about food. The mission: I feel connected to what I do everyday. Fast-paced environment Open-minded, welcome new thoughts and ideas Pretty flat structure, so great work gets recognized Family environment - I love my co-workers Great work/life balance

Cons

Sometimes the focus is on the wrong things or there are confusion around what the priorities are. There does not seem to be alignment among the senior team. It can be hard to work cross functionally.
