Pros

- Incredibly friendly & talented group who make it a pleasure to come into work everyday. - Endless scope for professional development - your manager & the company want you to do well; everyone wants you to do well. - Dynamic environment; business is growing at an immense rate & you can gain a huge level of exposure across the business. - You're working to improve the lives of dogs; everyone is bought into the mission. - Office dogs; of course.

Cons

- Mandated 3 days minimum in the office & little to no flexibility on this which feels at odds with ethos & wider macro context.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so glad you feel supported in your development and inspired by our mission (and our office dogs). We also highly value in-person connections and collaboration which has (and always will be) an important part of our people experience & culture. We understand that our synchronised hybrid policy might not work for everyone and appreciate your feedback. We'll keep listening and striving to create the best environment for our squad.

Pros

The culture at Butternut is genuinely collaborative, and everyone in the squad is really committed to the goal of delivering health & happiness to dogs all over the world. This is the friendliest bunch of people I have ever worked with and the care we have for one another amongst the team is really special. Butternut Box offer great development and career progression opportunities. There are different incentives to help your personal & professional growth such as an annual Learning & Development budget and Butternut's own in-house leadership training. There are plenty of great employee benefits including discounted Butternut food for your pet, hybrid working, health & dental plans and much more. And of course, lots of office dogs to cuddle!

Cons

Day-to-day life at Butternut can be fast-paced and sometimes quite demanding as we strive to meet the ambitious goals we set for ourselves. This I have found, on occasion, to impact my work-life balance in a negative way. However, management have listened to feedback and implemented measures such as additional annual 'Paws Day' leave for employees each year so we have extra time to unwind.

The opportunities to stretch yourself & grow are amazing. The values are lived every day and Butternut shows genuine care that I've not experienced in other workplaces.

The pace wouldn't suit everyone but creates brilliant growth opportunities for those prepared to commit.
