Pros

Relatively 'safe' industry to be in during difficult economic times. Company has also become pretty progressive about flex-time and remote-work arrangements.

Cons

You will become 'branded' at whatever level you are hired at - likely to see very little career advancement from where you come in at Clorox. In fact, you may be told you didn't qualify for a certain job that may be a grade level above your current level BECAUSE you are not at the higher level. Annoying circular reasoning commonly given to mask common hiring preference for outside applicants. 'Dilbertesque' corporate work environment.

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.
