Pros

Pretty office and that's it.

Cons

I don't even know where to begin. This company is rotten to the core. The fact that they dare preaching about "Me-time" and "Happiness" when they treat their employees like absolute garbage is a disgrace beyond measure. Everyone at this company is on the brink of burnout, working overtime daily with no compensation. Management is acting like a bunch of high school girls with an inferior complex, bullying everyone, and anyone who dares to criticize them. As an employee at Goodiebox you have two choices: 1. Join the cult and become a full-time bully. It's a "eat or be eaten" kind of situation. 2. Try to desperately hold on to your mental sanity while taking on the absurd amount of work they put on your shoulders, to the point of burning out. Goodiebox brags about their "Hyper-Growth" but fails to mention the inferno of suffering that's hiding behind their pink doors. I could write for hours about what a horrible workplace this is and you would still not be able to even imagine how bad it is unless you've worked there yourself. It's not okay to treat your employees the way that Goodiebox does, nor is it okay to use scarcity to force your employees to work overtime with no compensation. Conclusion: The "Good" in Goodiebox is the irony of the century.

Pros

Many sweet colleagues and a cozy office with free snacks, drinks. Free monthly goodiebox and sometimes other freebies.

Cons

Quite chaotic work place. Sudden deadlines, unclear planning, bosses looking over your shoulder or interfering with work. Not a great work life balance. Too few frontend devs for the work load.

Pros

Nice office effort in making people feel welcome Lots of responsibility despite CV Nice office space

Cons

It's some time since I was employed but l heard someone considering applying the other day so thought id share my experience to others. I was given far more responsibility than my position or pay reflected, and the long hours and extra effort were treated as expected rather than appreciated. The company heavily promotes the idea that employees are part of a “Goodiebox family,” but this sentiment is often used to justify overworking people and paying below-average salaries. Staff are encouraged to see themselves as “building the company” rather than being fairly compensated for their work - a mindset that benefits the company, not the employees. The result is an unhealthy culture where burnout is common and recognition is rare. If you value work-life balance, fair pay, and honest leadership, I’d recommend thinking twice before joining.
