Pros

Excellent Training Ground, Reputation among CPG, training provided to employees, solid stock price, reputable products that have been able to weather competitive challenges. Solid market research fundamentals and practices. Enjoy working for Don Knauss who is leading change.

Cons

Risk Averse, Slow And Can't Make A Decision Without That Last Data Point. People are smart but are afaid to use their gut. Cheap company. Doesn't offer competitive salary even though they are located in bay area. Marketing is up and out and too much pressure on market research group as almost everyone supports an average of 5 brand marketing people. No support from analysts.

Pros

Unlimited PTO: Flexible paid time off, subject to manager approval. Location: A better location for a CPG company. People: Friendly and smart coworkers.

Cons

Training and development: Training quality lags best-in-class CPG companies (e.g., P&G), where many senior marketing hires developed their foundational capabilities. The culture also places less emphasis on career development, mentorship, and internal talent growth. Compensation: Salary is not competitive relative to the Bay Area cost of living, and medical insurance options are expensive, making it difficult for many employees to build a long-term career in the region without external financial support. Career progression: Limited opportunities for advancement due to the organizational structure and low turnover in senior leadership. Technology and tools: Systems, technology, and ways of working lag modern standards despite being headquartered in the world's leading innovation hub. Culture: A risk-averse culture can slow decision-making and innovation.
