Pros

Good work/life balance. Decent pay. For good performers, many opportunities to move around the company to different brands, different job types, and different functions.

Cons

Culture of very slow decision making. Clorox brings in too much inexperienced talent, so you get too many mediocre performers hiding out all over the company. Very beaurocratic. Many different levels of management manage too few people at each level. Cheap. Weak 401k matching system. Too little celebrating successes, not enough money put behind the celebrations that do occur.

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.
