Pros

Business Intelligence department has the strategy to recruit employees from the 3rd world countries. If these people come to work to Germany they believe this is the chance of their life.

Cons

because of the above, the employees dont stand for their rights as employees. This makes it possible to exploit them in the BI department. For example right now they are looking for new employees for their DWH team. In the job ad they write that employees can play table football. This is a lie, because in the DWH team they forbid to play table football during the working hours, in order to exploit them for more hours each day. They also forbid them to make lunch breaks for less than 1 hour in order for the employees to stay at work for at least 9 hours. 9 hours per day is the absolute minimum (which is already considered in Germany as overhours). When the employee needs to please his team leader, because this way he will stop to treat him like a footman, than this employee has to work for 10 hours each day. When the employee makes a mistake, in the Data Warehouse team they will tell him that if he makes one more time this mistake then he will be fired! But they dont have the intention to fire him. This way they just want the employee to be more motivated. 95 % of the employees will be less motivated in this case and will resign sooner or later. But for them its ok because they are looking for the remaining 5 % of the employees: the footmen! While you attending the interview for the position in BI department, they will tell you that they have flat hierarchy. This is another big lie because in the reality its quite the opposite: they have the highest hierarchy I've ever seen! I reported it on their whistler blower system. But Foodara doesnt care about it. They flout the employees rights... Apart from that they don't have any regulations for duty on call, so their employees work in the night for nothing. This is considered as big abuse in Germany's employment law.

Pros

- Young and friendly coworkers. - Very flexible regarding working remotely. - Well located office.

Cons

- Competitive culture, in the bad sense. People going towards different goals regarding the company goal. - "Agile" but the manager don't trust on it. Just a simple way to show off but doesn't match the reality of the company. - Managers were behaving like heads of a sect instead of being leaders. - Stressfull environment not that much with the workload but in terms of discussions, disputing such a useless things. - Very long meeting when everybody gives an opinion but nobody prepared or had any kind of information about the topic. "Guess-driven" model, arguments are not needed, just guessing it's enough to have a meeting and make decisions. - There're two sides: -- Complainers: Anyone who does't agree with the decisions made. -- MPV: you're always supporting the decisions and always happy. - A high index of rotation.

Pros

Nice Colleagues that should just something else with their life.

Cons

At the job interview they offer you 30 minutes legal break with 8 hours of work.. well that is not the case at this SLAVE factory, apparently you are not allowed to take your break or take breaks what so ever not even to do your necessities..training was very evasive 2 days was nothing, and the trainer was constantly busy with her own work... so there was no way you learn anything .. They put you on the phone to talk to restaurants and customers without you knowing about anything and they just expect.. you are confronted with managers and other managers who come tell you what to do and they go off expecting you know to do your job out of thin air!! very disappointed ! after 3 weeks they take me separately and say hey because you use your work time for personal needs we need to let you go. You are going too much at the toilet and to drink water.. what excuse me??? 3 times a day to use the bathroom is too much??? and how about our legal break???? or is that said in the interview just to be said... I observed nobody in that contact center takes their break they just work continuously eat in front of the computer while working.. well I am sorry but is not my style PLUS you support MCDONALD'S THE DEVIL! no wonder you don't care for anybody but how much money you make ... and another reason after i spoke up about legal breaks that my language skills are not good enough cause I got one complaint ONE ! from a guy who was probably put there to call me by you with a stupid question! why is there a price difference from the restaurant to foodora plus other delivery costs?? WELL BECAUSE FOODORA ARE THIEVES!!!! I should consider a law suit for not letting me have my breaks and implying a reason to fire me my human basic needs!! NEVER WORK HERE PEOPLE YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME AND ENERGY AND THEY ARE LIARS!!!
