Pros

Many very bright and creative people work within the company, and the they offer some unique benefits such as half day Fridays in the summers.

Cons

Honestly, this is probably the worst company I have ever worked for from a day to day perspective. I hate going in to this office. They have virtually no HR - which means the "feedback culture" they promote often goes unregulated. The office is like a huge popularity contest - most rewards are not remotely results driven. Additionally, the work environment in CQA is demoralizing, not diverse, and a little bit smothering. Upper levels will give feedback downward (and you are subject to feedback from people outside of your management chain which affects your performance reviews and bonuses), but it is nearly impossible to give feedback upward. Trust me - they sell themselves well in an interview, but it's a sham.

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.
