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

The culture at Butternut Box and Marro is really good - there is a great team spirit, and the business loves to celebrate wins, which makes for a highly positive and rewarding working environment. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) is deeply woven into the company, with a strong focus on driving awareness across all teams. Additionally, the business actively encourages continuous learning and career development. Depending on your role, they also offer a great hybrid model with a mix of in office and wfh days, allowing for excellent flexibility.

Cons

The work-life balance fluctuates significantly depending on the time of year and specific project deadlines in my particular department. Additionally, it is a fast-paced working environment which may not suit some people.
