Pros

P&G is a great place for training. There are lots of smart people who are committed to training. Standards are high. The intellectual stimulation is high. I looked forward to coming to work every day for my first couple of years. There was always a new challenge.

Cons

The beauracry is tough to deal with. Decision making is slow. The company says it is committed to new ideas, but I found that now to be the case. The is a strong current to evolutionary change, not radical new ideas or revolutioary change. But P&G is so successful, maybe it doesn't need to change.

Pros

Security and stability. Clear processes and they care about their employees in the surface level.

Cons

The company wants soldiers to fit into the P&G processes-individual contributors who are not average/mediocre are not advance. This leads the company to have a very vanilla flavor-which is very negative to a consumer company-specially in this times where the consumer is more discerning and multicultural. They can have diversity inititatives but the main diversity is accepting and valuing different values, background, thought processes and execution modes-and in that P&G is in the 60s.

Pros

good stepping stone for a future career if you are interested in marketing or sales, good work-life balance.

Cons

slow development, limited opportunities, averse to adopting best practices from outside the company, risk slipping in to a routine & administrative mode due to slow and top-down decision making thereby killing the challenge and entrepreneurial spirit, got to fit a single distinct personality pattern ('proctoid') to be recognized thereby limiting diversity.
