Pros

P&G has great work / life balance and provides many different career opportunities especially at corporate headquarter sites. There are many affinity groups to join for support. The company also pays well, but at a regulated pace. P&G is proud of their culture and wants everyone to think their way. Hiring practices filter for a certain type. Many training opportunities for self development.

Cons

P&G is geared toward a tenure career track. Experienced hires in most fields will find their previous experience and knowledge not valued or used in promotion considerations. P&G is best for new college hires with a desire to stay put for a long career. One other observation is P&G's insistence to create their own industry language which limits your ability to benchmark your skills outside. P&G is also very large, there are career traps that must be navigated as folks move in and out of roles above you - must be prepared to move around to find the right up line support you need.

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".
