Pros
Friendly coworkers who are passionate about their jobs and supporting each other. Overall, the company really does stick to its values and is a good corporate citizen. Gillette offices are in a great location.
Cons
Unbearably slow to make even the most mundane decision due to risk mitigation. With a lack of new product innovation, micromanaging has been pushed to an all time high and employees are left wondering how to feel empowered to do their own jobs. Since everything is check-list oriented, there is little chance to implement improvements and speed into development. Don't expect to work on anything exciting or innovative for the industry - the P&G ship is just too slow to take cues from current trends to create new products fast enough. The pay for working in Boston does not reflect the high cost of living since the pay scale is based in Cincinnati. Benefits have been stripped, profit sharing is low and no bonuses for most employees.
