Positive Reviews From Bento for Business Employees

  • What do you like best about the leadership team?
    The depth of experience that each member of the team brings to the table helps me to trust in their judgement.
  • What did you like most about the interview process?
    I really appreciated the take-home coding challenge, which I feel better represents the skills of a programmer than a bunch of whiteboard questions. There were also whiteboard questions later, but at least at that points, the interviewers had seen my real code.
  • What makes you most happy at work?
    There are tough challenges that I know will help me to grow as a software engineer, and great opportunities for career growth that continue to stimulate me. I'm excited to get my hands into the code underlying our system, and contribute to the team as we continue to move forward.

Constructive Feedback From Bento for Business Employees

  • What does the leadership team need to get better at?
    Communication and response to consumers and customer service values
  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    I personally would like to see a 401(k) plan.
  • What needs to change to make the company culture better?
    Need to be better about celebrating our successes, start hiring earlier on (and less out of desperation) with a more structured evaluation of skills/experience/personality traits.
