Pros

P&G has great work / life balance and provides many different career opportunities especially at corporate headquarter sites. There are many affinity groups to join for support. The company also pays well, but at a regulated pace. P&G is proud of their culture and wants everyone to think their way. Hiring practices filter for a certain type. Many training opportunities for self development.

Cons

P&G is geared toward a tenure career track. Experienced hires in most fields will find their previous experience and knowledge not valued or used in promotion considerations. P&G is best for new college hires with a desire to stay put for a long career. One other observation is P&G's insistence to create their own industry language which limits your ability to benchmark your skills outside. P&G is also very large, there are career traps that must be navigated as folks move in and out of roles above you - must be prepared to move around to find the right up line support you need.

Pros

1) The people are friendly, helpful and fun loving 2) Free products and charity sales-we make some of the best consumer goods in the world :) 3) The responsibility they give early on in your career-I can assure you very few other company gives new hires such challenging and fulfilling work. 4) Great brand name to have on the CV 5) Opportunities to travel 6) Good training on key skills 7) Flexible timings-work from home

Cons

1) Salary is good compared to other marketing firms but doesnt compare to Consulting or i Banking 2) They take on only the best so you do have to keep up the high standards at all time

Highly structured work environment.

Pros

Very good pay and benefits. Medical benefits decline every year but that is probably the same everywhere. Excellent 401k employer match.

Cons

Creativity is discouraged. Good performance is viewed as not having made any mistakes with no reward for achievements. Extremely political environment. People are very frendly to your face but refuse to work together. All work that requires skill and talent is outsourced. Advancement is achieved by networking and favors. There is a rigid policy for almost everything. Strickly following the policy is more important than the results. Procedure and policies make accomplishing anything take five times longer than necessary.
