Pros

* There are some really skilled people within the factory, which make their manufacturing site really best in class * They promoted womens rights, LGBTQIA+, and many amazing events throughout the year by bringing in external speakers. * They offered remote first during easter and summer holidays * They provide great products to our beloved furry friends

Cons

* Management team are really inexperienced & lack any empathy * Majority of colleagues spent time crying from how they were treated, including myself * Unrealistic expectations * If you were there from the beginning you're okay, but any new people (who have LOTS of experience are treated unfairly * Heavily promote from within, which you would think is a great thing but at Butternut it promotes backstabbing and unsupporting behavior.

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.
