Pros
FULL DISCLOSURE - A lot of the previous reviews regarding engineering are mostly true. HOWEVER, I'm the second longest-standing engineer at GreenChef and I can say the engineering organization has gone through a major transformation after the acquisition by HelloFresh in summer 2018. What was once a severely understaffed, poorly managed, tech-debt ridden org is now a growing, thriving, very cohesive team. We still have tech debt (who doesn't?), but we've gone to great efforts to deal with the major, crippling parts that used to hinder the company. We've been splitting older monolith applications into services and rewriting front-ends in newer frameworks. Honestly, it's a very exciting time to be in the engineering org at GC. Pretty much the entire engineering team here is new after the initial fallout from the acquisition by HelloFresh, and the engineering leadership is loved by all. It's a very fun, productive, supportive atmosphere, and I've quite a few new friends through the new hires! The org has grown from 5 engineers to 20-25 at this point, and we anticipate continuing to grow. As for personal growth, I've been learning a lot! This is mostly due to the tackling of tech-debt and migration of old services/databases. It comes with a lot of exciting challenges. While engineering used to be second thought at GC, HelloFresh brought the opposite mindset - engineering is a primary concern and one of the most important orgs for business impact. It feels good to be a part of a team with that kind impact, and we see the fruits of that impact regularly.
Cons
No electric car chargers. Some people have to crank their stand-up desks.
