Pros

Practical experience and benefits. It's very well respected in the industry.

Cons

Sometimes feels like the military- very structured. Not as open to how newly absorbed companies do things. Many employees float from assignment to assignment and are so concerned with their promotability they step all other others on their way up.

Pros

Good pay, decent benefits, stable company. Well, they asked me for 100 words to write. A lot of very nice people. It feels good to work for a company, or for a brand that everybody knows about on the street. When you launch a new product it is distributed all over the world. Sufficient money to do the research and plenty of equipment if you need to test something. Managers are also better than at other companies I used to work for. Excellent facilities and plants and products that we make are some of the best in the world. If you like new product development it is not a bad place to be.

Cons

bureaucracy, not much innovation, very stiff cultureIt. is not the best place for creative people. There are multiple regulations, rules, procedures. Then you have training in procedures and how to follow them. A lot of meetings with a lot of people and nobody to make a decision. So we meet again in a week to get a concensus how to solve the problem. And then in one more week. By the time concensus is reached nothing is left from the original idea. But the pay is quite good, a lot of resources and we haven't had much penny pinching at least until lately. People are very good and friendly. So, I guess, may be there is something to working in teams but you have to get used to that it is very slow process.

Pros

When i was initially looking for jobs I had many many opportunities presented to me. The reason i choose Procter is because i can learn all the technical skills in the world, but leadership skills are something very hard to come by and Procter only focuses on hiring and developing world class leadership talent.

Cons

Cincinnati, OH although a medium sized city can be a bit of a downer. The public transportation sucks. In the company itself you have to hit the ground running and you often work many more then 40 hours a week. I suggest that you take a hard look at your life and decide if your ready to start running with some of the most competitive and inteligent people in the world because your life is going to be put on the back burner for the first couple of years.
