Pros

Compensation and benefits. Vacation was ok. That was pretty much it. A handful of people were genuine and great to work with.

Cons

Where do I begin. Little to no innovation or improvement, due to a culture of same think and a propensity to risk aversion. As an experienced hire it was difficult to utilize background and experience to get any new ideas across to coworkers let alone management. Not technically satisfying at all. Felt like an engineer only in title. Material babysitting and supplier manger. I felt that 20 years ago I would have fit in better as more tech and innovation was being done internally. Now is all project management no critical thinking. Culture of same think was really strong because most employees had little to no work exposure outside P&G. If you don’t fit the same think model it’s hard to get ahead. Culture-Most people are there for great benefits and compensation. Everyone felt in it for them selves not the team. This was a very disappointing experience for such a large company with a great reputation. Great reputation (same think) Terrible work life balance. Everyone alway on email and on call. Lots of management with no real engineering experience making engineering decisions. Lots of travel. Culture of me versus not we. The idea of a leader is the loudest one in the room is the alpha... it was a everyone needs to insert themselves in the discussion. Super competitive to the point where you can’t trust peers.

Pros

Many intelligent people who are experts in their fields who are willing to help and provide advice (if they have time). Decent benefits and pay.

Cons

I mentioned time because many people are stretched and overworked. Work life balance is pretty bad and shows no signs of improvement. A lot of this can be attributed to near useless management. Every project is treated as absolute maximum priority but can still be dropped at a moment's notice. Work processes are horribly cumbersome and slow. Even small changes require many approvals but there are endless demands to "move faster".
