They accommodated me very well due to the fact that I was pregnant and had to leave once my son was born ,but as soon as I was ready to start back they work around my schedule due to the fact I am a single mom FREEZING!! but that was understandable we were dealing with seafood and red meats so not many cons 1.0 POSITIVE 1.0 POSITIVE 1.0 APPROVE 0.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 3.0 1291852 Open KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!! 0.0 [] REGULAR No No 0.0 Mar 2nd, 2021 09:48PM Mar 2nd, 2021 09:48PM Home Chef Consumer Goods Food Producers
private:homechef https://www.glassdoor.com?employer_id=1291852 Feb 9th, 2021 12:00AM Open Open Home Chef Developer Chicago, IL So Much Favoritism - Free Food - Health Insurance was Cheap - Benefits are uneven across departments. Tech employees are eligible for double bonuses, and are able to keep their laptops after two years of service. Why are bonuses not standardized across departments and why do tech employees get to keep their laptops after two years of service (don't they get paid enough already!). - If you are the CPO or COO's circle you will get promoted quickly. That being said, if you are not in that circle, then good luck advancing your career. Some folks will sit at an analyst role for 2-3 years while others will become a manager in 10 months. - There is not one person of minority in upper leadership, while they pride themselves of being a diverse company. - If you are applying to Home Chef and you come from a management consulting background, 1 year of management consulting background equates to 5 year of industry experience. - Pay increases are non existent here, averages operations yearly salary increase was 1.5 - 2% in 2020 while tech employees were 3-4%. If you care about having good perks not wroth joining unless you go into the tech department. -1.0 NEGATIVE 0.0 NEUTRAL 0.0 NO_OPINION 5.0 2.0 4.0 2.0 1.0 2.0 1.0 1291852 Open - Standardize everything across the company. 0.0 [] REGULAR No Yes 2.0 Mar 2nd, 2021 09:48PM Mar 2nd, 2021 09:48PM Home Chef Consumer Goods Food Producers

They do a lot of trainings that are useful for your career. I have worked in two locations of this company as a group leader and I must say none was better than the other. They really lack vision and care about getting all their products out. The employees do not concern them and Covid really showed who they truly are as a company. 3.0 1.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1291852 Open 0.0 [] REGULAR No No 0.0 Mar 2nd, 2021 09:48PM Mar 2nd, 2021 09:48PM Home Chef Consumer Goods Food Producers

Opportunities are given to those who fit the mold they are looking for Average Pay. Huge preference towards MBA's and people with consulting experience. That said, they will pay the right people in the right position so long as they negotiate. The two bonus programs are kept secret from those who don't know about them.

private:homechef https://www.glassdoor.com?employer_id=1291852 Jan 16th, 2021 12:00AM Open Open Home Chef Manager Chicago, IL Mediocre Leadership, Limited Opportunity for Career Progression -Free food -Health and wellness days in addition to standard vacation days -Friendly, collaborative co-workers -Core leadership is young with little experience growing and developing teams. Despite this, they're often arrogant and think they know best, even though the company has evolved and requires different strategic thinking about long-term opportunities. New ideas or suggestions are not welcomed if they're in conflict with what leadership wants. Disagreeing with leadership in any way is akin to career suicide. -Similar to other posts, career development progression is limited. Leaders at the company either got there from joining the company early or nepotism. Many of them are terrible managers because they lack strategic thinking, and experience with managing and developing teams. It is widely known that you must be liked by the inner circle to go anywhere in the company. Additionally, the company has a huge bias towards consultants, often devaluing the contributions and work of those who don't come from consultant backgrounds. If you come from a non-consultant background, good luck trying to move up in the company without being a "yes man" or friends with the inner circle. -Leaders pander to diversity, but never take any substantive action to address the issues. Despite the fact that many have complained that the company has no minorities in any senior leadership position, the company has done nothing to improve the situation. The fact that there are ZERO minorities in a director role or above in a company with thousands of employees really makes one question the racial dynamics at this company. To make things worse, HR recently started a practice of requiring employees to go through multiple rounds of interviews for roles within the company. While this appears to give everyone a "fair chance" on the surface, it serves to only add more hurdles and undue burden to those looking for career progression. The best part about all this is that the hiring decision for these roles are typically decided ahead of time anyways, so everyone is just wasting their time going through the motions. You would think that HR and leadership would do a better job at managing their talent pool, so that employees don't have to literally interview for a new job every time they want a chance to learn or be promoted. -1.0 NEGATIVE 1.0 POSITIVE -1.0 DISAPPROVE 4.0 1.0 3.0 2.0 1.0 2.0 1.0 1291852 Open Look at the number of people who have left the company across departments in 2020 despite record revenue at the company. The fact that these people are willing to forgo bonuses and continued work at a growing company should tell you that there's a significant retention problem. 0.0 [{"countHelpful": 0, "languageId": "eng", "userJobTitle": null, "__typename": "EmployerResponse", "originalLanguageId": null, "id": 2983788, "responseDateTime": "2021-01-29T07:26:02.323", "translationMethod": null, "response": "Thank you for your feedback.

Our practice is to internally post, and interview for, roles where there may be multiple individuals within Home Chef that have the appropriate skill set and experience for the role. We post roles internally using a dedicated company-wide Slack channel.\n\nHome Chef is committed to providing a diverse and equitable work environment at all of our locations.

Not every company tries to question and reduce scope that way, but it leads to good flow and low delivery lead time for customers. As the sub-teams and total engineers count grew to keep pace with needed work, it was difficult to stay in touch with everyone compared to when the team was small, but that's always the case in a growing company. 2.0 5.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1291852 Open 0.0 [{"countHelpful": 0, "languageId": "eng", "userJobTitle": null, "__typename": "EmployerResponse", "originalLanguageId": null, "id": 2969081, "responseDateTime": "2021-01-25T07:18:19.79", "translationMethod": null, "response": "Thank you for this feedback!
