Pros

Healthy, macro-counted lunch provided. Snacks and drinks provided. Uses Slack for communication. Lots of active communities to join and be part of. Always a lot of events going on. Tech is new and updated. Very fast-paced.

Cons

The work is unrelenting.

Pay is below market. They claim that this is so because the food provided in the office makes up for this, which is debatable.

A lot of the current senior management are employees who have been at Checkout for years, and not necessarily because they earned their roles.

Advice to Management

Stop promoting managers until you get a comprehensive overview from all the people they currently manage.

Managers shouldn’t be promoted to senior managers unless their managed employees also put them forward for promotion.
