Pros

Pretty good coding standarts in the company

Cons

Not villing to pay licence for the IDE, barking at calls, micromanagement, all benefits they have in a job description allowed only after 6 months.

Thank you for sharing this and for your time with us. We’re glad our engineering standards landed well. We hear the concerns you have raised. On tooling, our intent is that people have the right tools for their roles as well as access to L&D budget for their development. It is a tradition of ours to welcome all our new joiners with a welcome WOOF - a reminder of why we do what we do (all for the love of dogs). On benefits, some of these are available post probation. We will review our communications to ensure this is clear for new joiners. Again, thank you for your feedback, The People Team

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.
