Pros

- Working alongside the brightest people across all teams, extremely dedicated to growing the business and looking after our customers. - Extremely values focussed organisation, where people behaving in line with the values are rewarded and progress to senior positions. - Interesting and challenging work, with a lot of variety on a day to day basis, all driving towards one goals: feeding more happy & healthy dogs (and now cats too!) - For the first time in my career, I get out of bed and feel excited to come in and see my brilliant colleagues and get stuck into what ever the day holds - it feels too good to be true. - Leadership & People team are extremely supportive and caring, for example when they know an employee is having a tough time outside of work, doing everything they can to protect team members and be flexible if it helps.

Cons

- Not a 'con' per se, but the business and leadership have high (rightly) expectations of every single person in the squad, this means work can be intense - genuinely not to be read as long hours / bad culture, but you'll need to be stretching yourself to do better every day.

Pros

The culture at Butternut Box and Marro is really good - there is a great team spirit, and the business loves to celebrate wins, which makes for a highly positive and rewarding working environment. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is deeply woven into the company, with a strong focus on driving awareness across all teams. Additionally, the business actively encourages continuous learning and career development. Depending on your role, they also offer a great hybrid model with a mix of in office and wfh days, allowing for excellent flexibility.

Cons

The work-life balance fluctuates significantly depending on the time of year and specific project deadlines in my particular department. Additionally, it is a fast-paced working environment which may not suit some people.
