Procter & Gamble reviews

1. Bosses are a hit or miss, I've been under 3 managers now and 2/3 are terrible. These 2/3 managers I've had/have are micromanaging, political, unreasonable and give absolutely no care for your career outlook. They even gaslight you for taking leaves even though it is your entitlement. 2. Working overtime/outside of office hour is very common, almost as if it's part of the work culture here. Workload is always never ending, do your work well and be prepared to be rewarded with more work. 3. Career progression is very very very slow and most of the time unclear. Takes an average of 10 years to get to a managerial position if you're starting from technician level. Bosses also are unwilling to let you change roles, you have to fight for it on your own. Career progression during 1-to-1 talks are very vague, the most you will get from your boss is a very brief estimated timeline for your next promotion. Almost feels like they never want to let you go especially since you're a slave to them. 4. Very stark and outrighted discrimination if you're not of managerial level. No respect will be given to you and your opinions don't matter (or they gaslight you to think that way). 5. Prepare to be involved with all the office and hierarchical drama.

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.
