  Another bulleted list felt a bit too…bullet-y. So we wrote this long, awkward sentence to let you know all the ways we sweeten the deal when you work with us, like 20 days paid vacation plus paid sick time, really great benefits that include medical, dental, vision, life (yes, pet insurance is in there) and a 401k plan with company match. Working for Oatly also means you get free six packs of...(drumroll)…oatmilk, and you’ll also get genuinely great coworkers who are rooting for each other and the company to thrive. Oh, one more short but very important sentence: We are nimble and agile (not chaotic) in how we work, and we’re grounded in a long company history dating way back to the last century.
