Pros

Genuinely diverse engineering team: One of the standout aspects of working at Butternut Box (especially in the product/engineering department) is the diversity, not just in backgrounds but in personalities too. It creates a vibrant, inclusive, and fun working culture that you don’t find in every tech company. Growth opportunities: Internal promotion is a real thing here. If you're putting in the work and contributing meaningfully, there’s a high chance you'll be recognised and supported to grow within the company over an external hire. Steep learning curve: The environment is fast-paced and dynamic, which can be intense at times, but if you're hungry to learn and upskill quickly, it's incredibly rewarding. Amazing holiday package: The time off is generous. I had 36 days of holiday this year, way above average and something that really helps with work-life balance.

Cons

The fast pace can be overwhelming if you're not used to it or prefer a more laid-back setting. It suits self-starters and people who thrive under pressure.

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.
