Pros

Benefits and perks are good. They give out free product (consumer goods) to their employees relatively frequently. Training is also very good for personal growth and technical understanding. The style of work is also unique compared to other R&D-related careers.

Cons

Career advancement is slow being in such a large company. Career system is also unbalanced, favoring engineers over other sciences. Many people are also overworked and have difficulty balancing work and personal life. There are also a variety of management personalities, making it difficult for effective communication and coaching. There is a large variety of departments in the company and big emphasis in the brands and projects related to brands are usually more recognized.

Pros

Everyone is a proffessional, of course there are times you wonder why a person is in his job, but that is not always the case. There is much less politics in this company vs. anywhere else.

Cons

If you are not flexible to move it can be difficult if you want to be in senior management.

Pros

P&G has wonderful brands and the scale necessary to compete in all the categories in which it competes. It is a great place to learn about world-class strategies and tools. If you can get an entry-level job (which is very competitive), then you have the opportunity to get exceptional training that will prepare you well for a career at P&G or other companies.

Cons

Very insular culture - you must come in at the entry-level ground floor to be eligilbe for advancement. Employees who come in through acquisitions find it difficult to be taken seriously by arrogant managers who think the P&G way is the only way. It is extremely difficult to join P&G mid-career - they like to promote from within. P&G has bloated support functions (compared to other competitors) staffed with people who seem a little too secure and comfortable to really care about good service and support.
