I joined Naturebox because I wanted the startup experience in silicon valley. When we were in the warehouse, the culture of the company was great.
Nomsters are what made Naturebox a great place to work. Most everyone was nice, but most of the people are also overworked.
Minpunten
Company culture changed when the cofounder left. A lot of employees are underpaid and undervalued by the exec team. They make decisions without getting employee feedback. Management decisions aren't trickled down.

Thank you for the feedback! Nomsters absolutely make this company a great place to work. As a startup working hard to achieve our goals, people often take on large workloads and new learning opportunities. However, we do our best to check in and ensure that while people take on new responsibilities, their workload is still manageable. We are constantly working to open up channels of communication where people are able to give and receive feedback and become stakeholders in decision-making across the organization. We are excited to see these initiatives contribute to the success of NatureBox.
Free healthy snacks up the wazoo. Seriously, you'll never go hungry here because of all of the great snacks. You're always the first to try new snacks and can grab a pack whenever you get the munchies. People are friendly and everyone really loves the brand. I joined the team when it was only about 20 people so everyone helped out when we needed people packing boxes or doing customer service work. It was actually kind of fun. Salary is definitely fair and competitive.
Minpunten
Beware what the execs tell you when interviewing. I was told that I'd be able build my own team and promised a lot of things that were never delivered. I was told working independently was essential because everyone was so busy. However, at the end of the day, I was being micro managed and not given any form of autonomy. People were being hired without me ever interviewing them myself (even when I was told I would be able to) so that just led to a semi odd atmosphere at times. A lot of things the company needed, the execs would ignore even if it was something essential
