Pros
I have been at Ocado for several years now and I can't ever see myself leaving. These are my pros:
- Brilliant career opportunities - I've moved product roles several times
- Continuous learning and development opportunities
- Amazing culture - by the far the friendliest place I have ever worked
- Helpful colleagues - it's a large company so there's a lot of collaboration, and everyone is always extremely helpful
- Interesting work
- Lovely offices - I'm WFH right now, but the offices we do have are great - good coffee, any equipment you need, free toast in some places
- 15% discount on Ocado shopping
- Annual salary review
- There's a really good work-life balance, and we are encouraged to book our annual leave
- There has been a big focus on mental health over the last 2 years with plenty of support in that area
- Really supportive management - we are one team and they're there to help and support us, not micro manage
- Flexibility with working hours - core hours are 10am - 4pm, so you can choose when you work. It's never a problem if you need to take a few hours out in the day either, eg for an appointment
Cons
Salary is something that is often mentioned, but I am aware that these are under review and there is some benchmarking going on.
