Pros

Cons

Butternut Box presents itself as a company built on values like genuine care and open and honest communication, but the reality doesn’t always match the branding. While the mission is great, there’s a noticeable gap between the culture they promote and the experience of employees. Nepotism is a real issue at the senior leadership level, with promotions and key decisions often favoring personal connections over merit. This creates a frustrating environment where talent and hard work go unnoticed. Transparency is also lacking, as difficult conversations are avoided rather than addressed openly. If you’re looking for a workplace that truly lives by its values, this may not be the best fit.

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.
