Pros

Lovely people, great culture, flexible working and a 9 day fortnight for most people. They really care about being a progressive and inclusive employer. Also dogs :)

Cons

It used to be a fast paced, exciting place to work, where I genuinely believed we were trying to "change the world of pet food for good". Sadly, this is no longer true. For almost a year now, it feels like progress has ground to a halt. The company seems to have lost their sense of direction and purpose, and we're just increasingly making short-term decisions that do nothing to improve the product or service. There is some restructuring happening which naturally creates inertia, but it has been too long now to just explain everything as down to this. I can see many people getting bored, switching off and just not putting as much into their work as before, which is such a shame.

Pros

Working for a company offers steady income, benefits, and a built-in team, along with structure and chances to grow your skills and career.

Cons

Working for a company offers steady income, benefits, and a built-in team, along with structure and chances to grow your skills and career. On the flip side, you trade away some control over your time and decisions, deal with office politics and bureaucracy, and face limits on flexibility and earning potential. It’s a balance of security and structure versus autonomy and upside.
