Pros

To grow, to learn, to become a professional. P&G fosters an amasing openess and readiness to share knowledge among the employees, and that's probably the best thing about this company. I work in Product Supply, and I have to say that Product Supply is really adanced here; a lot of best practices are actually introduced by P&G on the market. Among the big scale companies (not IT) P&G has probably the best Product Supply, so that's a really best place to learn it. Also P&G is a grate place to train your communication skills, as in general people are very adequate here, and it's really hard to spoil your relations forever. As a result, you learn to work in a big collective, with dozens, or even hundreds of business contacts. Which is an outstanding experience.

Cons

At least in Russia, the work/life balance is terrible. People overwork A LOT. They sit here from 9 am (sometimes from 8 am) till 8-9 pm, and some crazy people come into office even on weekends, or work from home. Both bosses and contractors do so; and all the mid-tier of workers as well (naturally). Anothing thing that isn't really ideal is the career growth speed. Theoretically, P&G is that big that you can always find a position you would like, however in practice it may need years to grow to the level you desire (even if you deserve it). A lot of people leave P&G for better work/life balance, but even more - just to jump over 1-2 levels, for a good position in another company.

Pros

Many intelligent people who are experts in their fields who are willing to help and provide advice (if they have time). Decent benefits and pay.

Cons

I mentioned time because many people are stretched and overworked. Work life balance is pretty bad and shows no signs of improvement. A lot of this can be attributed to near useless management. Every project is treated as absolute maximum priority but can still be dropped at a moment's notice. Work processes are horribly cumbersome and slow. Even small changes require many approvals but there are endless demands to "move faster".
