Pros

Pretty product images. Monthly flowers.

Cons

The CEO isn't a business person and runs the operation like a vanity project for her personal image and social network. PR will only get you so far. For a DTC business, the company is woefully under resourced in the technical space. The flower category has extremely lean margins and is complicated from a quality and fulfillment standpoint. Be very clear about what experience you want to gain from a position at Flowerbx as you will likely not be there very long. I would estimate average tenure is a year at best.

Thank you for your feedback. As you’ve taken the time to share, we would like to respond to some of the specific areas you’ve raised. The ambition and drive of our CEO has ensured FLOWERBX remains agile amidst rapidly changing macroeconomic conditions. This year, we recruited some key roles within our leadership and management teams to further support the CEO with the success of FLOWERBX. Our diverse team brings a wealth of knowledge and varying perspectives to support the next stage of our journey. We’ve significantly invested in our product and tech team over the last 12 months, which has resulted in the successful relaunch of our website. We now have a platform which we feel comfortable building out further conversion rate optimisers and continuing to deliver an unparalleled solution for our customers. We want FLOWERBX to be a great place to work. We don’t get the journey right for every employee and understand there’s always room for improvement. That’s why we will continue to encourage and value feedback. We offer an exit interview with all leavers which provides an opportunity for them to share feedback, however we respect that not everyone wishes to participate. If you would like to discuss your feedback, please feel free to reach out to a member of the FLOWERBX team that you feel comfortable speaking with. We wish you all the best.

Pros

- Hybrid working model (lots of autonomy on when/where we work from when in-person) - Work/life balance and flexible scheduling (as a working parent of two young children this is major) - Team is an amazing mix of people from different personal and professional backgrounds - Exciting to work for an ever-changing business with new challenges and opportunities - Generous PTO and parental leave policies

Cons

- Very fast paced and high pressure (not a con, but requires the right type of employee and work ethic)
