      Pros

      Smart, talented, committed, kind people who collaborate well. Excellent place to learn marketing and leadership.

      Cons

      The company has missed earnings quarter after quarter post pandemic, which necessitated making an enormous (and seemingly last-minute) commitment to the street to save a whopping $100M in admin costs. A small group of exec cmte members laid off 100 senior people with more rounds of layoffs to come (they are only 30% of the way to the $100M). They eliminated most of the innovation apparatus (new biz group, design, open innovation, Agile and discovery experts, and highly experienced talent) and dramatically reduced insights headcount. This desperate move is a future HBR case study on short-term savings at the expense of future growth. No wonder the street is betting against CLX.

      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.
