Business Outlook

Pros

- Very good benefits - salary, generous holiday with option to buy extra 3 days, up to 7% pension match, 30 days per year work from anywhere policy. On average culture is great for company of this size. Some incredibly smart people. Challenging domain.

Cons

- A lot of politics, not product-led or technology-led but topdown-led. HR grievances brushed under the carpet or worse. Incompetent or lacking upper and middle management. Yes-men rewarded, with few exceptions - not a meritocracy. Not really diverse, fake attempts to look as if they care to improve in that regard. Frequent layoffs.

Not quite there

Business Outlook

Pros

Some of the people working at Ocado Technology are brilliant engineers, as well as teammates.

Cons

All levels of management are quite poor. Product road map planning is a complete mess and every couple of months there is a "great" new vision for the next couple of years. Engineers are overworked and constantly asked to switch focus. Salaries are not very good and the company refuses to share salary ranges and benchmark data internally. You can guess why. Career progression for a software engineer is pretty much non-existent and promotion is based on you being liked by your peers and "promoting the company values", which are just a bunch of corporate kool aid, but there is rarely an appreciation of your technical expertise.
