Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We appreciate your honesty, and your input is invaluable as we strive to create a positive and supportive work environment. It's great to hear that you appreciate the hourly rate, free hot drinks, free fruit, payday pizza, Christmas bonus, and paid get-togethers. We're pleased to know that these initiatives contribute to a positive experience for our squad members. However, we are sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing, including the cold environment and the physical and mental demands of the job. Your well-being is our priority, and we constantly look for ways we can support you with our uniform and the winter warmer offerings we have been able to offer over the last few years (thermals, freezer jackets, etc.). We will continue to look into the investment of machinery and automation opportunities, as we have done in some areas so far, to hopefully improve some of the experiences you have shared. We want to assure you that we are committed to fostering a fair and inclusive workplace. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we will work towards creating an environment where everyone feels valued and treated equitably. Once again, thank you for sharing your thoughts. Feel free to contact the People Team directly if you wish to discuss it further.

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.
