Pros

The best resasons to work for Procter & Gamble are the fantastic brands. Because Procter & gamble is so large there is a tremendous amount of leverage with the customer. Compensation is also relatively strong.

Cons

The largest downside of working at Procter & Gamble is the size of the company creating enormous amounts of bureaucracy and an inflexibility in order to react to market demands. Unrealistic goals combined with a unwaivering reliance on outdated metrics create a difficult work environment. Work & Life Balance are wholly ignored and workloads are unreasonable. The secretive nature of the company also creates a culture of fear and suspicion.

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".
