OrderYOYO Reviews

I had the opportunity to meet the Order YOYO team during an event where the company was announcing its acquisition of the Dublin-based company I worked for at the time. Unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the most stressful and traumatizing experiences of my professional life. My team was invited to the event without any context, only to learn, upon entering the room, that our company was being acquired. From the very beginning, the atmosphere felt off. The entire event felt staged and rushed, with little regard for how employees might be processing the news. One executive in particular stood out for all the wrong reasons. If I remember correctly, his name was Kristian. He reminded me a lot of the “Person of Consequence” from Gogol’s The Overcoat, an individual who asserts importance by making others feel small. Rather than demonstrating leadership or empathy, he seemed intent on commanding the room and inflating his own role. At one point, he simply repeated what the HR lady had just said, only louder, as if to take credit for her message. Without warning, I was put into a one-on-one meeting with one of their employees that same day, with no preparation. My anxiety was through the roof, made worse by the looming uncertainty of whether I’d still have a job by the end of the day. The whole approach felt more like performance than professionalism, a manufactured sense of urgency designed to impress rather than communicate and support. The company's stated values, like "compassion," felt like hollow corporate jargon, completely detached from the way people were treated during this transition. In hindsight, I’m grateful I never became part of the merged organization. Reading others' reviews later only confirmed that I likely dodged a bullet.

They are hiding honest reviews about honest employee experiences They hide behind a front of social events, Friday bars, vibrant environment however underneath it all it is an awful place to work if you actually care about your job or career progression As other reviews have said, progression is based on favouritism. Managers are in sexual relationships with employees who are then working their way up much faster and without having to apply or interview, meanwhile other staff who want to work up are subjected to rigorous interviews or overlooked completely. The C level management have made female employees and BAME employees cry in front of other staff due to discriminatory comments and then made jokes about it. Nothing was ever done about this. Drugs and alcohol being misused in the office until late hours then mess being left for other staff to tidy after them. Mental health totally disregarded and people advised to just work from home if they can’t cope with the office environment. If you have any respect for yourself and your future career prospects this is not a company for you.
