Pros

Great experience working for a large CPG company Ability to work across multiple businesses lends itself to personal growth and development Smart, talented people 100% tuition reimbursement

Cons

If you're not hired into management, it is nearly impossible to move into management P&G will reimburse you for your MBA, but not allow you to become a manger when you graduate Everyone wants to "make their mark" and prove themselves to get promoted, which lends itself to poorly planned initiatives and projects being rolled out The corporate culture revolves around "what have you done for me lately?"

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".
