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.

Recent Change in Culture

Pros

The ability to work from home based office minimizes the office distractions. Very loyal employees and unique culture that trains and breeds the highest performing and qualified employees.

Cons

Big change in culture over last year with pending divestures. Once very loyal high performing employees are leaving for competitors. The dust never seems to settle and constant restructuring and divesture rumors are causing distraction throughout organizations. Also, if you are not mobile, you will never be promoted at P&G. Non-mobile employees are considered to be "worker bees" and are not considered for promotion in external roles. The "new" way of launching promotions and initiatives from top down vs. bottom up is causing a great amount of rework for customer teams.

Used to be a Five-Star Employer

Pros

Company longevity, portfolio of leadership brands, cross-functional interaction.

Cons

Company has shifted to a short-term mindset where employees are not valued and a once strong culture has all but floundered. The company is well aware of its issues but does little to nothing to nurture, value, and retain strong employees.
