What’s it like to work at Pip & Nut

Like our brand, as a team we don’t take ourselves too seriously and want to make sure that we’re having fun and inject a bit of playfulness into our day to day. As a B-corporation we also want to ensure that every person in our team has a clear understanding of our mission and what we are looking to achieve. That’s why we invest in lots of different ways to support you and the team to do this:

1. Learning & Development- We’re an ambitious bunch and have a hunger to learn something new every day, whether it’s small or big. That’s why we invest behind each team member with resource to support a personal development plan each year. Whether that’s learning soft or hard skills we want every person in our team to pursue areas that they wish to grow more within.
2. Physical and mental health– your wellbeing is key to doing a great job that’s why we provide private health care, dental care, critical illness, and life insurance, as well as monthly coaching sessions.
3. Free breakfast, a no desk lunch policy and of course unlimited nut butter– building positive relationships with food is at the core of what we do as a brand so we make sure as team we live this value by making sure that we stop to eat well throughout the day. All food we buy for the office is also bought from businesses that avoid the use of palm oil as we like to support brands who also believe this is an ingredient worth avoiding.
4. Giving back to our community and planet- as a brand we want to give back to our community which we also give 3 additional days leave for you to volunteer with a charity , one day is dedicated to our company charity of the year and the other two days can be spent with a charity of your choice.
5. Your birthday off and other Squirrel Days– on top of your 25 days holiday we also give every person in the team their birthday off, half days on Fridays in August and a half day on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve.
6. Flexi-working – we know that not everyone works the same and that sometimes you need to be more flexible. That’s why we have core office hours of 10am – 4pm and an early finish on a Friday at 4pm. 
7. Working from home and anywhere- We also encourage you to work from home at least two days a week (Mon & Fri, with Tue-Thur in the Nest) and, if you've ever fancied working from a beach house in the Maldives, you are allowed to work from anywhere in the world for up to 4 weeks of the year! 
8. Remote Working Equipment – all equipment will be provided including laptop and screen(s).
9. Finally our office is based in Shoreditch London, a great location for food at lunch and a drink or two after work.
