Pros

Before joining Butternut I really struggled to find 'the right workplace' for me. But almost 3 years later, I still feel as excited and engaged with the business as I did on day 1. A few things worth highlighting: - The company's mission is ingrained everywhere, which is really motivating for me personally as a dog owner (and ex-customer). - The people that work at Butternut are kind, passionate and smart. I'm challenged every day which keeps me driven and on my toes. - Career development opportunities are there for the taking for high performers, which means every year there are new projects to take on and get involved in. - Everyone has a voice, regardless of job title or tenure. Diversity of thought is really valued, from the top down. - I've had the best manager of my career so far at Butternut, she inspires me to be the best version of myself and develop my own skillsets as well as my wider team. - The office is beautiful, like really. Such a great space to do good work in. The people experience team do a great job of organising fun social events (random office 'surprise and delights' are the norm at Butternut) - Whilst the company has scaled massively over the last 3 years, it has managed to retain it's startup culture. We still hold company wide standups on a Monday, and retros on a Friday - meaning that everyone feels in the loop about whats going on across locations, sites and projects.

Cons

For me this is not a con, as I enjoy the pace - however for those that prefer to be a cog in a big machine, Butternut might not be the best place for you. Every role has a big impact & as such there is a high level of responsibility for the vast majority of squad members.

Pros

I have to say this is the most rewarding workplace I’ve experienced. It is a truly mission-driven culture where our core values drive our daily decisions and product. The environment is incredibly agile and fast-paced, which means you are constantly learning. From a career development standpoint, everything is exceptionally clear and tailored to the individual. Whether you want to progress down an Individual Contributor pathway, or step into a People Management route or try a new challenge through internal mobility - there are clear frameworks and opportunities in place for everyone, On top of that, you get to work alongside some of the brightest, most ego-free, and collaborative people (and passionate animal lovers) in the industry! !!

Cons

My only flag is that the business moves so fast that keeping up with the rapid pace can sometimes feel intense. It requires lots of adaptability and resilience, but having such a supportive team makes it completely worth it.

Pros

If you want a career that is both intellectually stimulating and deeply meaningful, this is the place to be! Mission & values driven culture: It’s rare to find a company that actually lives its values every single day. The mission here isn't just a slogan on the wall; it’s the heartbeat of the business. There is a profound, shared commitment to making a positive, tangible impact on the environment, which makes the work incredibly rewarding. Incredible team & collaboration: You will be working alongside some of the brightest, most passionate, and genuinely supportive people. The culture is collaborative, ego-free, and highly motivating. Unmatched development opportunities: Leadership genuinely invests in your growth. Whether you are looking to sharpen your current skillset or take on new leadership challenges, the developmental pathways and mentorship here will fast-track your career.

Cons

The pace is fast and there is a high bar, which means it’s not a place where you can just coast. However, if you love a healthy challenge, you will thrive here.
