Pros

(1) Innovation built around consumer insights. (2) Large brands that make selling easier. (3) Operational excellence (so much so that pebbles become priorities over boulders).

Cons

PIE (performance —> image —> exposure) culture turns into managers managing their image over performing. It is common to see and hear managers protecting their back over taking accountability for their lack of development or support in an individual. In return, the individual prioritizes managing their image to appear as though they perform. The result is an organization of people who focus on competing with one another’s image/exposure more than P&G’s actual competition. The end outcome is missed productivity and output to provide a stronger return for the shareholder. Survey your employees and ask how they feel instead of making decisions based on how high-level leadership would want it based on their own personal opinion.

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".
