Business Outlook
Pros
Quality people & products in a relatively predictable and stable business. Business decisions are made with deliberation and the bureaucratic weight tends to dampen any wild swings in strategy. This works well for the steady businesses in which P&G tends to compete. 'Might makes right' in the world of consumer goods and P&G has the scale to compete effectively in its core markets & categories.
Cons
Insular and narrow mindset created by the promote from within culture. While the employee base is diverse in terms of traditional measures (ethnicity, etc.), the narrowness of expected interactions and processes makes the culture rather stifling and limited. If you like robotic interactions and sameness, this is place for you.
