Pros
The benefits and perks are nice, the pay is competitive, and most all of the people in the company are great.
Cons
Where to start... 1. The company has hit a wall and is desperate to try and find a silver bullet to save the business. 2. Morale has not been the same since the layoffs in April. 3. The parent company has become increasingly difficult to work with and they have unrealistic demands. 4. Management and especially HR wants to keep everyone in the dark, and silence anyone who tries to bring attention to the fact that the company is not doing well. 5. As people realize how bad things are, there has been a steady stream of people leaving the company. 6. The direction and strategy of the company are no longer clear and have not been since Josh Hix, the old CEO and founder, left. Things are haphazardly implemented just for the sake of showing some kind of development, even if it does not drive overall growth. 7. The new head of the company, who was put in place by the parent company, is hardly ever present in the NY office and it appears that support for Plated internally in the parent company is dwindling. There were some really great things about Plated that I loved when I first started, but over time those things have deteriorated and vanished. If you are looking for a job in the meal kit industry, I would recommend either joining HelloFresh or finding a different industry altogether.
