Deliveroo reviews

Long working hours Stressful working environment

The infrastructure and culture of the sales dept in Manchester isn't anything like what it set out to be. Understandably, most startups don't have things down to a T in their first few years. But culture and management is something that can most definitely be mastered while building businesses foundations. When starting a position at Deliveroo, you're told about how important "fun", "food" and "freedom" is to the company and to your role. Management is anything but "fun". Nobody in the team dares to question the manager when prompted to do so, in case they appear to be 'patronising' or 'rude' - when really they're almost bullied into being silenced. Employees are given a seating plan. If you treat people like children, they're likely to act like children. If you treat adults with respect, they will respect you. Everybody knows KPIs and Targets have to be hit - nobody works to get fired or to not maximise on their commissions. So why must a manager scream across a room of adults to ask for how many calls they've made?
