Pros

Very good salary & benefits, smart people, quite good work-life-balance, value integrity

Cons

P&G used to be amazing but because recently the company hasn't been growing and there has been a lot of downsizing, people are focused on saving themselves. So much politics going around, you basically have to make the leadership team like you to get promoted. Furthermore, P&G has been promising to be faster, more creative and do more risk-taking but it hasn't happened. It is still slow and the leadership is risk averse, they do not dare to try new stuff or approve it after months or years because it may reflect bad to their work plan results. They choose to play safe.

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".
