Pros

Half day Fridays, quiet days, recharge days/weeks

Cons

Culture has been going downhill since the restructuring in April 2023. Teams continue to shrink or be outsourced, but the work continues to grow. Management is risk averse to avoid making themselves look bad, resulting in staff having to parallel path contingency plans to no end, doubling or tripling normal project work. No one wants to be the one to say “no” to anyone above them for fear of being let go or pushed out. Advancement is slow and lateral moves are hard to come by and extremely competitive because everyone wants to change positions.

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.
