About the company
Butternut Box makes fresh, tailored dog food subscriptions, with meal plans shaped by a dog’s breed, age, weight and other profile details. The company was founded in 2016 by Kevin Glynn and David Nolan. Butternut Box markets itself as B Corp certified and runs both corporate teams and a large fulfilment operation (Rudie’s Kitchen) to cook and ship meals at scale.
Locations and presence
Butternut Box lists main hubs in London and Worksop, plus teams in Amsterdam, Warsaw, and Berlin. Hiring spans office roles (product, marketing, customer operations) and on-site fulfilment roles supporting the kitchen and warehouse.
Palpable Score

Butternut Box has several realistic “first proper job” doors across Customer Love, field sales, and fulfilment, backed by concrete learning budgets and coaching language in job ads. The ceiling is the lack of a clearly visible, repeatable graduate track and limited public proof of early-career progression outcomes beyond policies and reviews.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

13.0
/ 20
  • The company hires into junior-access work such as Customer Love Team Member roles and on-site fulfilment operator roles that do not require long specialist experience.
  • Butternut Box also runs a junior-friendly field sales route (Junior Sales Associate) that is designed for people building practical sales skills on the job.
  • The company still asks for prior experience in some “junior” routes (for example a year of sales experience for the Junior Sales Associate), which narrows true graduate access.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

12.5
/ 20
  • The company publishes a clear, staged interview flow on some roles, including a take-home task and structured skills and behaviours interviews.
  • Butternut Box sets expectations around feedback and inclusive hiring focus in job ads, which is the right direction for candidate respect.
  • The company’s public interview feedback is mixed, so consistency of communication and closure is hard to score higher without stronger, repeated evidence.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

14.5
/ 20
  • The company funds a personal learning and development budget (£500) in multiple role listings, which is a direct early-career support lever.
  • Butternut Box explicitly sells coaching and training in the Junior Sales Associate role, plus visible “grow into senior or supervisor” pathways for that route.
  • The company has credible early-career learning stories (for example, placement student accounts describing close access to teams and founders), but role-by-role onboarding structure is not consistently published.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

13.0
/ 20
  • The company posts concrete pay details for some frontline roles (for example an hourly rate plus shift allowance in fulfilment), which helps early-career candidates make fast, informed decisions.
  • Butternut Box lists a strong baseline benefits set across roles, including private medical and dental coverage and enhanced parental leave in corporate listings.
  • The company rarely posts salary ranges for many office roles, so pay transparency remains uneven for early-career applicants outside operations.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

10.0
/ 20
  • The company has a strong overall employee recommendation signal in public reviews, which suggests many people would still point friends toward Butternut Box as a workplace.
  • Butternut Box has retention-style policies (for example paid sabbaticals after long tenure) but does not publish early-career outcomes like promotion examples, retention over 12–24 months, or internship-to-offer conversion rates.
  • The company’s public footprint shows growth to a large team size on LinkedIn, but that is not the same thing as evidence that juniors progress quickly or predictably.
