Pros

Half day Friday's during the summer.

Cons

Where do I begin? Take anything you were told in the interview process and assume it was a lie. That promotion you were told about? Good luck. Promotions are given out by favoritism, not merit, and even then they are not common. Told you could work flexibly? Sure, but expect the CEO to say nasty things about remote workers on company calls. My dealings with this company have been so toxic that I went from a lifelong Burt’s Bees and Clorox fan to a commitment to never support this company again. I just can’t bear to spend my money with a company that treats people like dispensable, value-less, pawns.

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.
