Pros

Great location. Free snacks. Lovely people (though often suffering from low morale).

Cons

Unskilled, inexperienced management. Some people in senior positions that they are extremely unprepared for, resulting in a chaotic, often hostile environment. People work needlessly long hours due to a culture of poor time management. Role confusion. People expected to focus on areas completely unrelated to their job descriptions and career paths. Unwilling to negotiate on salary and bonuses were rarely rewarded. Disinterested in feedback. People who attempted to negotiate working conditions were dismissed as ‘bad hires.’ Exit interviews happened for a while but seemed to stop. Office is cramped, doesn’t have enough meeting rooms and is often unclean. Hybrid working is advertised but is not the reality. Some could work from home or even abroad seemingly whenever they wanted, while others were denied WFH requests to accommodate medical appointments or home emergencies. Many pressured to come to the office on designated WFH days. All of this and more can be seen in their exceptionally high rate of staff turnover.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we always welcome feedback and suggestions, as it helps us improve. I’m sorry that you had some negative experiences during your time at Deliciously Ella. As we have grown exceptionally fast over the last couple of years, things have moved quickly, and people’s roles have evolved as a result. We are investing in creating a management team with representatives from all functions to help execute our strategy and improve communication to the wider team. Although we get a lot out of being together in person, we respect people’s working from home days and will always accommodate leave requests for medical reasons or emergencies. If you’d like to chat about any of the above, please reach out to me on LinkedIn. Fran Newman, People Director.

Very toxic workplace

Pros

There used to be many nice people to work with, but most of them already left. Free snacks

Cons

The company should change their mission and values. The owners care only about targets and sales at the lowest possible cost. People mean nothing in this company, which can be seen in the very high turnover of people. Very bad organizational culture.
