Pros

Process driven activities pushed positive results. Everyone was very intelligent and very open to making time to speak to you when you first start the job. The open workspace was ideal for creating an open atmosphere to communicate yet it was very difficult to approach management without an appointment request.

Cons

The work life balance is non-existent. The pay is great, yet when you factor in the hours worked it ends up being a very low $/hr. One is really selling their soul to work here. Management repeats the vision statement about the company and asks that you create presentations based on the most current "vision." Be, careful of how you work on projects as an intern. You may be told that you are doing fine one day, then the next day you will find out that your work is unsatisfactory. The work environment is competitive and aggressive. People are only willing to help you if it will benefit them. Management preaches about creating creative presentations, yet they must be completed in a preset template.

Pros

learn a lot about the PAIN of working with a highly bureaucratic organization. Need to be very lucky to meet a manager with good leadership skill.

Cons

it was a mistake to work for P&G. It is totally different from what I expected. Many inexperienced undergraduates were promoted to band 2 manager. Because of the promote from within culture, many other professionals with outside experience must start from the bottom and have to deal with these narrow-minded, arrogant folks. They treat entry-level employee very bad. They even fired employee whose spouse was 9-month pregnant. Overall, it is not a good place to work. Lots of politics played in many decision-makings. It is naive to believe that they act based on their principles and values.
