Avantages

A lot of responsibility and big budgets

Inconvénients

Horrible management, poor planning, do more with less people mentality. Disgusting work culture. So much pressure. Literally every other day one of us get a sick leave for burnouts. I had a horrible team lead and there was nothing I can do about my horrible inexperienced team lead. The company claims that their culture is egoless. You can speak up and challenge status quo. Everybody’s opinions matter etc… Reality is that the upper management only listens their sr managers or team leads. If you are not one of them you don’t matter . They take decisions without discussing with teams and then force people into changes. They don’t care if you leave or if you are unhappy. They are in the opinion that its easy to replace people and everyone wants to work for hellofresh. Ask about the turn over rate in paid marketing in your interview ( sea, seo, display, paid social, youtube, affiliate, offline marketing ) its not even 1.5 years. I have serious doubts about ability and experience of the team leads in paid marketing teams. And I don’t think its only me who questions that. I think people simply leave because they don’t want to work with team leads who earns more than themselves but doesn’t seem to be contributing more than anyone else or doesn’t even convince their team members that they are worthy of the positions they hold. You might be thinking 🤔 well how do they get team lead positions then??? Well its all about politics. Are you good at politics? Then this team is definitely for you! I’m sure you will get a team lead title in no time!! After you get it do not try to make your team happy. Always try to make upper management happy. That’s all that matters. Basically don’t work much upper management will bite whatever you say and your direct reports have no place to make their voices heard anyway.

Avantages

There are some genuinely nice people here but that is the only real positive. Even they are slowly leaving because the culture has become too toxic to stay in.

Inconvénients

Highly political culture with no real promotions. Leadership is insecure, ego driven, and more focused on protecting themselves than supporting employees. Micromanagement is constant, communication is poor, and priorities shift without explanation. Quiet layoffs happen with no transparency and usually protect the same small group. The new US marketing lead has made the culture even worse. He was difficult to work with before and has only become more problematic in a higher role. There is constant questioning, no clear vision, and nonstop steering that sends teams in circles. It is hard to understand how he keeps moving up the ladder despite repeated negative scores and consistent employee feedback. Independent analysis, including the Grizzly Research report, highlights similar issues such as unstable leadership, lack of direction, and a business that feels like it is declining. What the report describes matches what employees experience inside the company. Even if the CEO or HR choose to ignore these problems, they remain the reality employees deal with every day.
