Pros

- career development is an important reason to join P&G, especially as a young professional - salary&benefits are good and constantly raising if you do a good job - nice environment and you can get help when in need from colleagues all over the world - P&G values make you feel proud - and they are mostly true unlike other companies where it's just words!

Cons

The environment is quite birocratic and some decisions take too long; sometimes people use numbers and results in a distorted way to show their success; - P&G has a good set of trainings and setup allows having at least 3 important trainings yearly , but lately some trainings have been postponed or even canceled several times due to "business urgent needs" which I dislike, and made me miss them totally as I had no time to reschedule for the new timing.

Pros

-Strong training ground for brand management -Managers are good for the most part

Cons

-Unfortunately this generation of VPs, SVPs Presidents, C-Suite and CEO are among the worst I've ever seen; soul draining culture and "frantic" versus thought-through strategies. Because P&G is up-or-out, unfortunately everyone who is at that level all operate the same: an obsession with work, high panic which ultimately leads to beating down on the organization to do more while not actually caring about the employees. There is an enormous mental health crisis in the Procter & Gamble walls right now that HR and leadership is just simply not looking to change because business results are more important to them -Career growth is a joke - 100% politics, 0% merit. Some of the most recent appointments within the company are very good examples of this specifically with multiple promotions to executive levels with questionable results and known emotionally abusive issues but are mentees of the CEO -Very weak compensation structure vs CPG peers (even though P&G does not think this). They claim cost of living in Cincinnati makes it competitive but if they did a true deep dive on total comp structure, P&G is abysmal after your first 2 years there
