Pros

Principled and value driven company. Compensation is among the best in the industry. Gives sufficient flexibility in working hours (however this is based on the role). Entire company is focused to deliver a single objective, which brings clarity. If one says and does the right things, potential for career advancement is bright.

Cons

One's perception is an important factor in promotions/career advancement. One cannot be blunt, which leads to time inefficiencies sometimes. Since everyone is measured on the same parameters, work gets delegated downwards, so one constantly lives in the firefighting mode. One needs to be extremely diplomatically correct while expressing opinions. So the entire atmosphere is very guarded.

Advice to Senior Management

Even though potential is an important factor, performance should be the most important measure while making career advancement decisions for an individual. Moreover, the individual's capability need to match the role offered to him/her. Maybe something like an in-house career counseller for P&G would help.
