Peapod Reviews

I have been working at Peapod

Pros – Cool and talented co-workers; Effective scrum methodology use; Great executive management; MacBook Pro 15 with 27" monitors, wireless keyboard and mouse; Fruit served on Wednesdays;

Cons – Left to fend for yourself to figure out a proprietary non-J2EE framework coded in the 90's based and running on ATG Dynamo 5; Only support resource is a 1000+ page manual - nothing you can Google here; Messy code base filled with hacks to get basic functionality to work; Poor support structures to help team members succeed; Lack of clear communication or support from abrasive yet technically competent manager and director; Not an ideal environment to be exposed to or apply any modern development frameworks and tools; Team leaders do not know how to evaluate talent properly or effectively hold on to valued team members - extremely high turnover in less than a year; Please note that these comments does not apply to the "Web Center" or "Business Systems" teams - these two teams do not have any of these issues and are highly recommended teams to work in.

Advice to Senior Management – Do a better job to keep your technology platform up-to-date to support the expected growth of the business and to attract and retain quality people.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I worked at Peapod

Pros – Paid holidays/breaks, no customer interaction. Opportunity for a lot of hours, if you don't mind working until 3am on weekends.

Cons – A 10-4 shift always ends at 2, outsourced and inexperienced management, lack of communication, absolutely no advancement opportunity, at all!

Advice to Senior Management – Help out employees instead of sitting and playing words with friends or angry birds on your phone for a whole shift....
