Pros

Best CPG on the west coast. Excellent training, great brands and marketing fundamentals. You would be hard-pressed to match the overall learning experience in such a desired location.

Cons

Financial conservatism creates barriers to growth. With all the top brands in mid-tier categories + recent acquisitions you would think delivering the peer average for topline growth would be simple. Instead it's a hard focus on the quarter, year, at the expense of the future.

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.
