Pros

-People are incredibly smart and capable -Money is good, especially for the location -If you as a person fit the culture (are a Type A person who is very loyal to the company) you’ll love it

Cons

COMPANY CULTURE: As someone who’s worked other places, this is the worst culture I’ve ever seen. It’s a loud, vocal, incredibly Type A place to the point of being toxic. Further, speaking plain English isn’t a thing - you’re literally playing corporate buzzword bingo every day and there are so many acronyms that the company published a dictionary/translation guide. Finally, there is this incredibly odd “company man” culture where everyone thinks that P&G is the greatest place in the world, that we’re the most prestigious company ever, and that your only hope of having a successful career is to be here (i.e. P&G is superior to Google and McKinsey, why would you ever leave?). The “drinking the kool-aid” is over the top and the inflated sense of the company that people have is not based in reality. -LOCATION. It’s Ohio, there’s no escaping that. 100% remote isn’t a thing here, and it’s made clear that to advance you must be in Ohio. This is why most of their college recruiting is at Midwest schools: it’s tough to convince people who know what’s out there to give it up and come to Cincy. -JOB DUTIES: my job’s day-to-day looked nothing like what the job title suggests, what was written in the job description, or what was described during the interview process. Be prepared for a possible bait-and-switch scenario.

Pros

The people are really outstanding, you can make lasting relationships with good, intelligent people. There is also a lot of autonomy in scheduling (although you end up having to work around other people and plant schedules a lot) but aside from that you can work the hours that you want to

Cons

Pretty much everything else was a con.... The culture is extremely reactive, very little preventative work done and when a problem takes place ITS EXTREMELY URGENT and you're expected to drop everything right then and there. Very poor work/life balance and non-existent boundaries, meaning that your cell phone will be your work phone and you can expect to be called at all hours and on your vacation. Lots of travel expected (to horrible locations in horrible states). All of that in exchange for working at what you expect to be a state of the art company with amazing benefits, neither of which are true. There's hardly any perks to working here; the technology, people, and systems are absolutely archaic. It felt like working in a 3rd world county or the 1960's a lot of the time. Lastly, there seems to be no middle ground in employee satisfaction, meaning that employees are either 1) completely miserable or 2) have a cult mindset where they believe P&G is better than anywhere else in the world despite never having worked elsewhere in their lives.

Only mid-hire knows it’s not really good

Pros

Product superiority, ownership, free food for training, business trip

Cons

When you come from other company esp from IT or consultancy, you may realize how unique this company / people work and get tired of it. If your manager work only at P&G, you may get how weird they operate the team. 1.Lack of Human Resources + lots of workload due to lack of knowledge of project management based on man-hour. 2. Unsupportive manager who are not reliable for help and pass all his/her work to team 3. Analog / inefficient work environment where everyone emails like bomb even internal communication, which makes mailbox piled up. 4. Analog business model 5. Insufficient financial support for expat 6. Authorizational culture / too many politics
