Pros

- Amazing volunteering opportunities and a chance to make an impact on the local community, as well as volunteer with animal rescue charity partners - Lots of genuine care for squad members at Co-founder and Leadership team level - Great company benefits, e.g. flexible and hybrid working, dogs in the office, amazing new office space and breakfast served in the office each day - Friendly and caring squad who show genuine care and respect for one another - £500 learning and development budget each year: a great opportunity to explore personal and professional growth and development - Actions are actually taken off the back of Engagement and DEI surveys: squad opinions really matter and feedback actually sparks changes - Huge focus on DEI and employee wellbeing through team and location focused initiatives

Cons

- The team is growing very fast, meaning there is a consistent fast paced environment at Butternut with few low periods in the year.

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.
