Pros

You learn so much on every team and every business. Coworkers are for the most part extremely helpful and intelligent. Mentors and historical learnings are available for every challenge. The wide range of products offers potential for a lot of valuable reapplication.

Cons

If there is a simple way to get something done, it is not considered thorough. All systems are over-complicated and multiple systems are required for every task. The drivers for complexity are that every person needs to bring some highly visible value added contribution, and the deep company wide fear of risk.

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
