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

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.
