      A good company but too insular

      Pros

      P&G hires very smart people. You will learn much from your peers.

      Cons

      The culture is somewhat 'inbred'. They hire mainly from universities. So nearly everyone starts very junior and works their way up. This is the 'promote from within' philosophy they have. However, being a senior experienced hire, I found this insulting. They don't value outside talent. Not invented here syndrome.. This is a very competitive environment instead of a team based effort. Everyone for themselves. This is reinforced by the staff rotation that occurs within the categories far too often; this hinders organizational memory development.

      Stable and dull

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      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.

      It will make or break you.

      Pros

      It will either make you or break you. If you succeed you will be headhunted. My Marketing Director is offered a new job about once a week. Because of the long term benefits of the profit-sharing scheme he stays.

      Cons

      It will either make you or break you.... The competitiveness does not really matter as much as the networking. I personally was not the best , but succeeded to the top of the rankings simply as I got on best with my managers. This is pretty much what I have heard throughout the rankings. Your home-life can suffer, and whilst they offer flexi-time and sabbaticals, anyone who actually takes those can kiss their advancement goodbye.
