Pros

A big name on your resume. working for P&G opens the door for many future opportunities in CPG industry. Great people to work with. Communication is open and sufficient, and you can make friends with many lovely co-workers. Great benefits.

Cons

Rating system is very political, does not always reflect the truth. your manager's personal preference plays a key role on your performance. Not all the low-level managers are qualified. Many of them were promoted given the number of years they serve the company but not their talent. Don't be surprise to see your manager gives you lots of foolish 'coaching' or screaming at you... This situation will particularly hurt the new hires with experience somewhere else. You have to get start from the bottom given the promot from within policy, but your manager probably doesn't have the qualification to understand your talent and skills at all! Very hard to transfer your skills and experiences to P&G if you are an experienced professional. You are encouraged to learn lots of complicated rules on how to get works done on P&G's way rather than your own, new ideas are not encouraged. Work itself are pretty boring in Canada.

Pros

There is real investment in employees' personal development and true opportunity to advance to much more senior levels. The "promote from within" ethos means that more is invested in existing employees (and recruiting more great people) and that senior managers are not "flown in" from other organizations. The culture is very focused on results delivered and strong performance is very well rewarded, both in terms of compensation and benefits, but also in new opportunities that you are given to progress even further and faster. Overall it is an absolutely fantastic place to work and if you put a lot in you will get a huge amount out again.

Cons

Sometimes can be a too inwardly focused and resistant to learning from the outside. Huge company, so sometimes there is a tendency to keep doing things "the P&G way" rather than really taking a hard look at whether processes could be improved.

Pros

Very easy to transfer to other areas to allow personal and professional growth.

Cons

Since this is a very large company, with a promote from within system the competitive spirit is very intense.
