Procter & Gamble reviews

Career advancement is slow being in such a large company. Career system is also unbalanced, favoring engineers over other sciences. Many people are also overworked and have difficulty balancing work and personal life. There are also a variety of management personalities, making it difficult for effective communication and coaching. There is a large variety of departments in the company and big emphasis in the brands and projects related to brands are usually more recognized.

Takes time for decisions to be made and there's too much bureacracy. The company probably hires too many ABMs and then makes it difficult to be promoted to Brand Manager. You can feel like you're being brainwashed at times and you have to be careful to not loose yourself. In fact, the Promote from Within mantra the company is so proud tends to produce disciples instead of true creative thinkers. There doesn't seem to be a great appreciation for outside thinking. Everyone talks the sames and tells the same jokes. It can be scary. Some of the marketing principals can be overly complicated solely for the sake of being different. Processes get in the way of driving results.
