Glovo Reviews

Cons

Culture and team not supportive at all.
Weak management and not decisive
Toxic people around you and most of time nothing improve due to their attitude and mentality.
Inexperienced Managers with personal motives

Cons

As in any company there are cons, the perfect job has not yet being invented. The good about Glovo is that you know the 2 cons before joining: Compensation and work-life balance. This is Startup in its 4th year of existence, it is normal and they are transparent about it.

If the company keeps this pace, the sacrifice will be worth it.

Cons

- Super chaotic: No one knows what everyone else is doing. Projects are launched with almost no testing and without speaking with other stakeholders. Total lack of communication among departments.
- Lack of guidance: Nobody ever has told me what is expected from me. I have received zero support from my manager or the head of my department.
- Inexperienced managers: Many people got into higher positions because they have been working for Glovo for a long time, but they've never had experience managing people or leading international companies. You can find senior managers that are 23 years old and for which Glovo was their first job.
- Zero work vs personal life balance: You can see people competing and showing off about who is the one that stays longer at the office. It is totally normal for your manager to ask you to stay 3-4h more than required to finish a last minute request.
- Lack of processes and weak data: There is almost no process defined or written. People do as they think and this creates big inefficiencies.

Cons

There is no respect for personal life. People often work 9 to 8 and it's common to still see people in the office even on late Friday evening. On top of that you are still expected to work from home if needed and many people don't even respect their holidays and weekends.
The focus is on being friends with everyone even if it's fake and there is a big gossip culture and your success might depend on your attendance to parties more than your work. Naturally this leads to low diversity in the company as 90% of the people are 20-30 years old with the same background and mindset.
Most people in management position have no experience or training and there are no standards set from the higher management. People don't even understand the company values and interpret things their own way. Working from home on Saturday night is Gas and Positive vibes means you cannot mention every points for improvement - no one will tell you anything to your face but talk behind your back like in primary school.
There are many changes and no stability like in many start-ups but in Glovo it was the first time I saw company firing people for no good reasons. In HR 4 people got fired in a period of 2 months which was even more strange since at the time there was no real manager in place and the team was understaffed and extremely overworked already so letting people go was putting even more stress and pressure on the team.
The salaries don't correspond to the hours you work. Most of the salaries are around or slightly below the market rate but if you would actually count salary per hour worked it would be a sad image.

Cons

NOt available as best place

Cons

Everything else about this company.

Cons

very strict, little to non breaks. The lunch break (20 minutes) is just a joke. Is impossible to have lunch in 20 minutes, considering that you have to run to the top floor to get your stuff, warm it up, go to the comedor and eat it without dying in the process.

Cons

No really found any cons.

Cons

The attention to the employees and customers is deficient

Cons

Not much if you want to work in a demanding environment, always rise the bar ;)
