Pros

P&G provided the best trainings for employees, PVP became the religion of P&Gers (not all but most of them). It was the place where the person's capability and capacity stretch to the max. It was a tough place to be and I believe it still is. You will grow to be the best and the worst version of yourself (not all worst version are bad when you know how to control it), you will learn how to survive (by getting new skills and by asking for help), defend (with facts), and not to victimise yourself. High expectation regardless the levels, great ownership was highly appreciated. The pool of talents are great, very diverse (nationality, backgrounds, the way of thinking), smart people. They are trained to respect each other not the hierarchy, trained to take care of the business as their own. Personal and professional has bold line, you will learn not to take discussions in work personally, you may fight each other from 9am-6pm and had drinks or karaoke at 7pm with the same people, happily (not because it scheduled by your boss in your Outlook). You built solid relationship in P&G, it's like what you had in school, you study together, you play and grow up together, without you knowing, your colleagues and ex-colleagues embedded in your life, they are joining for Christmas dinner with your family and friends, attending major events of your life, captured in your holiday pictures, and you have regular catch-up with them scheduled in your calendar even when your T-number has deactivated. You will have hard time to unlearn and adjust with outside world when you graduate from P&G, but its not totally a bad thing, keep the value, because that's matter.

Cons

Career opportunity is very limited and the environment getting very political. The demand is not only work related, but also being "socialite" and getting known by LTs is important. Great works don't speak by itself, it must be sold and promoted by the managers. People are overwhelmed with the scope and responsibilities.

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".
