Pros

All employees I have interacted with are engaged in their work and deliver good results. Open culture, you can say what you think without fear of getting fired. Most of the managers I had there were excellent managers and know how to keep their employees motivated and happy. Good place to gain skills and move on.

Cons

Bureaucratic and shrinking company, at least for employees. Even if P&G is always profitable the stock market requires profit growth not profit stability, something almost impossible for a mature company that already has its fair share of the markets it competes in. This means job cuts, which are mostly voluntary leaves but those that don't leave are stuck at the same level for a long time since new roles are rarely added but many roles are eliminated. Responsibilities keep growing at all levels without increase in pay or promotion.

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
