      Good Company- But be a careerist

      Cmk manager

      Pros

      It is an incredible place to cut your teeth and learn the marketing trade. P&G values clarity of thinking in written format and formal team leadership. They will train you on this. It is a great place to open a lot of doors, and some roles are truly rewarding and fun. Good managers will provide a lot of ownership from the very get-go.

      Cons

      It is a careerist culture, the best are highly political. This company frequently moves on soundbites more than sound analysis. Leadership is aware of the crafting of messages, however it is a cultural problem that is highly difficult to break. It is still the way to get up in the organization. Managing your personal development ultimately falls to you. This adds value to being networked and politically savvy.

      Do not come to P&G if you have a degree in chemistry or biology

      Pros

      Having P&G on your resume makes you very marketable to other companies. There are some non traditional roles available for people with science backgrounds.

      Cons

      Short of having a Bachelors in Engineering you will be a second class citizen. The R&D system is truly flawed. People with bachelors or masters degrees in a scientific discipline come in 2 levels underneath those with bachelors degress in engineering. If you have a science background you will not come in as a manager (like your classmates in engineering will). All of the effort is put into developing engineers for leadership roles. People with science backgrounds are expected to be a pair of hands in the lab. You may luck up and get a manager who gives you the opportunity to do the type of work that the engineers get to do but expect to get paid $20-30K less for the same work. What they don't tell you when you are interviewing is that only a very small percentage of people with science backgrounds ever get the 2 promotions necessary to get them to the entry level position for an engineer. For the few who do, the average timing is 10 years. It is very common for a person with 15+ years with the company who came in with a bachelors/masters in science to be managed by someone with a bachelors in engineering who is right out of college. To add insult to injury, any degree that you obtain while working for P&G does not help you advance. The expectation is that the new degree will just enhance your abilities within your current role. Also, those coming in with a PhD in a scientific discipline will enter at the same level as a bachelors in engineering. (P&G loves their engineers!) On another note, you can also expect to spend your time imitating your competitors b/c the culture has gone away from taking the risks associated with being innovative and has instead gone to a copycat paradigm.

      Backward & pretentious place

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Depending on your Business Unit and Director, there are great managers and teams but in minority.

      Cons

      If you enter, be prepared to meet lots of fake smiles and pretentious people. Managers who are out to steal credit and throw you under the bus. If things are great, you will never be acknowledged. If things goes wrong, the pointing finger game begins. Their '360' reviews are all fake as these folks would appoint friends to evaluate. Directors will gaslight and treat contractors, external parties, agencies with disrespect. If you are looking to enter, it would be best to check if your team has locals (not including PR or converts) or are all expats - it shows if your director has been hiring 'friends' or talents.
