Pros

I love working at Blue Apron - the people are incredibly bright, the work is mission-driven and meaningful and there are constantly new projects to work on and learn from. For someone with a go-getter mentality, there are few limits to what you can do at this company. Leadership knows what they're doing, and things are done intelligently and well. I have recruited my close friends, and would do it again!

Cons

We're growing really quickly, and we do things at warp speed which can mean hard work. But, if you like that it could easily be a pro.

Pros

My peers were great to work with. Unlimited PTO (how they can afford that, I have no idea), decent office location so the commute was easy.

Cons

The company as a whole was incredibly dishonest. They would say one thing and do another. Management has a nasty habit of taking absolutely no responsibility for their shortcomings and manages to throw their subordinates under the bus whenever a project would take longer to complete while soaking up all the praise when things were successful. The engineers who worked their behinds off to get projects finished managed themselves and yet, the managers who pretty much phone it in (all the while watching Overwatch tournaments on their iPads instead of doing real work) walked around with the audacity to speak with authority on the abilities of the engineers. People in positions of power have absolutely no right being there. HR is a joke. They are glorified middleman working in tandem with the status quo. They’re incredibly flippant whenever serious ethical problems (i.e.; racism, sexism, favoritism, misconduct, etc) were presented to them and will lie and stall until they came up with some sort of story that would work for them. Blue Apron is a sad startup that never got its footing and too stubborn to call it quits.

Pros

Decent Pay, Good vacation and sick time.

Cons

Internal Promotions are based on personal preference and not measurable KPIs. Ther is an inner circle that seems to get promoted. It is a regular practice for employees to be asked to perform a job for several months without compensation or promotion.
