Pros

People, culture, big company. Diverse company yet everyone has a similar attitude so it's very easy to fit in. Lots of great brands that are accessible through company shop. Promote from within so you must work your way up.

Cons

A bit of a cult since everyone has been there and become tuned into the P&G way. If you want to progress fast at the start of your career it is too difficult, even if you are recognised as one of the best.

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".
