Pros

PG's benefits are very generous and comprehensive beyond just compensation. Free lunch & dinner, great health benefits, fun events add value to employment here. From my perspective, the company lives up to its mission and values daily.

Cons

The "matrix" organization at times feels disorganized.

A once great company being crushed by bean counters

Pros

At the peak of this company it was a powerhouse of creative talent where individuals could make an impact through the flat organization. The coworkers were amazing and we had the freedom to do great work.

Cons

Sadly, Finance was allowed to take over most aspects of the company and we chase dollars now. For whatever reason Finance has been given ownership of many departments across the company. Star players have been leaving the company from every department. We have had a rotating door inside many of the people departments, which Finance also owns. The culture has been taking a pretty negative path and it is clear the people departments are not enabled to fix this. If I wanted to work at a company that just focuses on money and ignores a growing toxic culture, I would go do the company who's name rhymes with Tuber.
