Pros

P&G has a strong heritage, a variety of brands, and many career options. It's a great place to launch a career (it's up or out and everyone starts at the bottom). The company is always innovating and provides a significant amount of training for employees to continue winning in the marketplace.

Cons

get lost in the vast size of the company, so much hierarchy, management within business units change their minds every few days, which can be very frustrating. Becarse it's a promote from within company, politics and relationships are extremely important. Build strong relationships with the right people and you'll be good. The company has lost really great people because they weren't buddies with management.

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".
