Pros

> Learning: Accelerated Learning. You're expected to lead projects with a multi-functional team from Day 1 > People: Generally nice (no cursing/scolding etc.) and overall good sense of camaraderie with your peers > Workplace: Office is open plan, free seating, free fruits every other Tuesday

Cons

> Nationality-based Networks: Indian, Filipino, Korean, Japanese nationality groups are large and dominant. These networks inevitably influence who gets promoted or moved into which roles. ASEAN Talent tends to lose out. P&G is still a good place for learning, just beware that if you're ASEAN you may not get promoted as fast, or necessarily move into the higher visibility, more attractive roles > Too Big: Things move slowly because there's a long chain of people to get inputs from, and align. Sometimes even trying to identify who to get inputs from can be a nightmare. Anyone seeking to succeed here needs to be able to handle working with lots of different stakeholders, many located remotely and with different incentives > Weak Middle Managers: Not sure how some of the middle managers got promoted. Their judgement, ability to coach and ability to serve as good role models are questionable, and honestly not inspiring.

Pros

training in in depth, training on job, basic star interview questions good company, stable benefits are somewhat cheap

Cons

training can be a lot, you have about 1-2hr presentations biweekly where you get tested on different aspects of the plant, like steam system, water system, utilities etc, training can last up to 6 months paid once a month, irregular times on call, may have to work weekends depending on machines work long shifts, sometimes up to 16 hours depending on how machines run, expected to be at work by 6am for safety meetings, 5am sometimes depending on the site you work at, expected to stay if machines run poorly can be demanding- most entry level managers are fresh out of college and expected to train and manage individuals who have worked at the company for decades not very easy to change departments, takes a couple of years no matching 401k, they have their own profit sharing thing, if you quit before 3-4 years at the company, you lose the money
