Pros

some nice people and that's about it

Cons

-mad CEO -unrealistic demands -the fact that the staff turnover is so high is the proof that something is fundamentally wrong -the worst work experience (even worse that I can possible imagine) -everything is so wrong that you start questioning what is right and wrong. There is a lot of BS and loads of blatant lies. Clients/investors are lied, employers are lied and treated unfairly. I can write a whole day with what's wrong at Streetbees. I would strongly suggest to stay way, no matter the pay. Before coming to Streetbees I actually read some bad reviews but I thought "It can't be that bad". It was actually a lot worse. I don't think this company can survive. It is not sustainable.

Hi, this is Oliver, one of the co-founders at Streetbees. I’m sorry you feel this way about your time at the company, but it's also only fair to Streetbees that I highlight things from your review that are not correct. There are no fake reviews on Glassdoor posted by Streetbees employees. I would also encourage the astute reader to notice the number of negative reviews that use identical language such as the word 'toxic' and for you to draw your own conclusion about fake reviews. Our staff turnover is currently 20-25% per year, which is in line with the average for London start-ups at our stage. While we are on statistics, it's also worth highlighting we are incredibly diverse with 50% of the organisation female and above the UK average for both BAME and LGBTQ. This diversity means a very rich set of opinions and ultimately a much more interesting work environment.

Not a happy place to work

Pros

Brand new equipment - high spec touch bar macbook pros, nice open office, fantastic, extremely talented colleagues. Awesome location too. The product has so much potential!

Cons

Expectations are completely unrealistic. You will be burned out, and there will be nothing you can do about it apart from leaving the company. It feels like the worst of both worlds startup and corporate: insane amounts of stuff to do, dealing with extremely top down hierarchy, micromanagement, and not a lot of sense of security or reward. Startups are lots of hard work: but there is no sense of progress, and a toxic culture around expectation that make hard work at Streetbees unbearable. There is a massive fear culture: and it's hard because you feel like you're not _allowed_ to make mistakes. A lot of startups are about making mistakes and becoming stronger and growing as a business and individuals. In this company mistakes make you fear about your job. Many people left (at one time, it was 1 or 2 per week) because of the pressure, or because of mistakes they made being a cause for their termination. It feels like nobody is happy to be working at Streetbees. It really dampens the morale.

Pros

cool team free lunch on wednesday

Cons

burn out style management with extremely aggressive behaviour from founders working late on weekends (without having food and transportation paid) making fun of people getting fired or leaving on their own
