Innovative, friendly

Pros

The technology is much more exciting and cutting edge than you'd think, and there are loads of different projects going on – which means you get to meet people with all sorts of specialisms and backgrounds. Generally people are friendly and happy to help out if you need it. Also, check out Code for Life, which is a free teaching initiative the company has created for schools. It's mostly developed by volunteers and is a good way to get to know people from different areas of the division.

Cons

Hatfield itself isn't very interesting. It does have countryside and pubs etc nearby, and isn't far from London.

Code for Life is also open source, if anyone wants to get involved in developing the Rapid Router game or the portal. Go to Ocado Technology on Github and look for Rapid Router or Code for Life.

Pros

+ nice people in team, but high fluctuation

Cons

- no planning (do something/somehow style of work without relevant providing any relevant information) - no training/progress possible - no documentation on existing systems (information of current systems is provided only by talking basis, quite often it is "the guy who did this left company time ago" - lot of promises on the interview (design), but there is only network supporting roles - no discrimination of support technician levels (experienced technicians doing level 1/NOC support)

Thanks for the feedback, it's been passed on to the team so we can learn from it. We're sorry you felt that way, especially as we do have training programmes in place through our Academy. If anyone is concerned about their personal development we'd encourage them to always take this to their team lead, management or council rep. Your comments will be looked at.
