Pros

In the beginning, it was great - dynamic, vision-driven, and human. I met some fantastic, amazingly competent individuals, all of who are unfortunately no longer there.

Cons

When I started at Chobani, there was a vision to do things differently and do things right, to be a different kind of CPG company. Shortly after, things changed. The vision was lost, market share and revenue superseded everything else. There's nothing wrong with wanting to make money, but when it is the only objective, it's not a good experience or bright future. The Chobani difference is fading fast. The goal now seems to become another Dannon or Yoplait. Leadership (CEO and CMO in particular) is very unprofessional, ego-driven, and disconnected from employees and consumers. A major recent re-org laid off all the early hires and departments that made Chobani successful. In their place, came people from big uninspiring CPGs - welcome to the future of Chobani. It had such potential and it is sad to see it go this way.

Pros

Great benefits, ability to create your own way forward and own processes you create, and flexibility within the already flexible hybrid schedule.

Cons

There aren't many in this role. If you're flexible, a problem solver and communicative with both your exec and your peers- Chobani is a great place to build a community,
