Did you love junior high school? Then Clorox R&D may be fore you.

Pros

None that I can think of beyond a pretty campus.

Cons

R&D at the Pleasanton site is mean-spirited, myopic, cliquey, and full of managers who think their job is to belittle and diminish people who aren't exactly like them - They don't like or want people with advanced degrees, experience garnered outside the Clorox company, ability to think scientifically, or interest in thinking independently. They talk a big game, but their actions drive all of the talent out of the R&D organization. SO if you want to work somewhere full of cliques and bad behaving people in positions of authority, be paid 20% below standard for the SF Bay area, and drink whatever Koolaid management wants to feed you at the time, this may be the place for you. If you have scientific integrity, want to be valued for your knowledge, experience, and contributions to your workplace, find any other company in the Bay area.

Pros

Flexible work options, lower to middle management generally cares about employees.

Cons

Company is currently reorganizing and cutting costs. A lot of people with a lot of years are being let go, their loyalty and dedication was definitely not valued. This is causing low morale for people not in upper management who keep saying how great this reorganization will be. Upper management just doesn’t care about the people, just their own bonuses and the stock price.

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.
