Campbell Soup Company Reviews

Pros

Progressive and forward-thinking culture. Several resources designed to enhance career development. Several on-campus benefits including top-of-the-line cafeteria, fitness center, outdoor work space, treadmill desks, and on-site daycare.

Pros

Flexible work/life balance, highly skilled workforce

Pros

- Work-life balance: includes work from home / flexible arrangements, Summer Fridays, maternity and paternity leave, and on-site day care (Camden).
- Competitive compensation and benefits
- Iconic brands
- Cafeteria (above average food, but expensive)
- People are generally friendly and collaborative

Advice to Management

- Hold people accountable for results
- Reward people based on results and competence, and not popularity
- Crack down on rogue behavior (people challenging or actively undermining decisions after they are made)
- Empower employees to make decisions at the right level / crack down on micro managers
- Stop wasting time with small ideas that are not profitable or scalable
- Invest to clean up and improve products. You cannot talk about real food and continue using artificial ingredients, high fructose corn syrup, MSG, and flavoring systems instead of real vegetables, fruits, and high quality meat
- Remove people that are barriers to change and always say why things cannot be done, instead of offering solutions
- Consolidate offices to improve communication and unlock more opportunities to cross-polinate and retain employees

Great work environment (WHQ)

Very well educated and talented staff

They pay well

Advice to Management

Manage the toxicity better. It's tough because the players are good at managing up. Time for some long term people to retire, some of them are holding the company back from doing things faster and better.

Seek out and support internal efforts at improving processes vs hiring big consulting companies to come in and tell everyone how to do it. This will improve ownership and accountability.

Remain customer focused. Campbells has some of the most established and trusted brands in CPG. Keep it up!

Pros

Great work environment, company has invested in its facilities and culture (new gym, cafe, dress for the day, etc)

Really smart and dedicated staff

Beginning to think differently and diversify the business portfolio for later by term success

Becoming less risk averse

Advice to Management

Go back to the simple strategy of Doug Conant, win in the marketplace, win in the workplace. Currently not winning in either. Start with the workplace.

Have better succession and retention plans to limit turnover and increase consistency.

Pros

Iconic, well-known brands and healthy marketing budgets to drive growth.

Advice to Management

Develop your people and stop making excuses. If you don’t invest in your people you will continue to finish last vs. peer group.
