Pros

Very talented co-workers at lower and middle levels that you will learn a tremendous amount from. Good marketing and brands, very well operated. If you have the right internal champaign, you can go very far in the company.

Cons

You are only as good as your latest success. No one seems to remember or value an individual's body of work. If you don't have a strong internal champaign at a high level, your career potential is limited. You have to know what senior leadership values in style and portray that. Substance is not as important. Very inconsistent people leadership - some groups a 'revolving door' of team members without anything being done about it. Extremely risk averse - many opportunities missed because the company took too long to evaluate and someone else got out into the market sooner

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.
