Pros

There is Job stability, esp. in a tough economy (because consumers still need staple household goods). P&G provides a very thorough training program for all new hires and even more senior levels. The company also has a believe in continued information sharing through corporate networks to leverage cross-category learnings and drive scale.

Cons

While P&G is a great company, there is a lot of corporate bureacracy that drives slow decision making processes. There is a need to "rightsize" qualification plans to prevent late launch into market. Sometimes P&G is too focused on making all decisions based on consumer data and will not move forward unless all the t's are crossed. Additinoally, there appears to be unbalanced work/life balance between different functions & categories.

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".
