Pros

P&G recently led the charts for the best companies to work for to become a leader, and it's clear why. The training opportunities are incredible and frequent. Even though you may be an ABM or "band 2," bottom of the totem pole, you get visibility to the Presidents, VPs, etc.

Cons

The worst part about P&G is that they take "extraordinary people and make them feel ordinary." Despite having an MBA and many years of experience before coming to P&G, I could be doing the same work as an undergrad hire. You have to stay at level for 4-5 years before promotion.

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".
