Procter & Gamble reviews

Stressful environment Highly competitive where co-workers will not help you for fear you will one up them Some managers are good, while most only care about moving up the corporate ladder and will not have your back. Work/Life balance is a joke. If you have no life outside of work, then this won't be an issue. Not a company for people around 40 or older as your role may suddenly be eliminated due to their constant reorganizations. Work is constantly moved down the ladder where people are now doing work that used to be done by managers that were 4-5 levels above them. There are no incentives for administrators other than they should be happy they have a job. You are allowed to "speak up" only if you agree with upper management.

P&G works you to your bone. Recent years of aggressive cost-cutting means redistributing of work to those who stayed. Everyone here is handling more work and most people worked till late at night; even those who appeared offline replied my emails when I sent them at 11pm. Terrible workplace. Corporate communication here does a great job in making sure media view P&G favourably (what do you expect, we are famous for marketing). Sometimes the truth is so distorted from reality that they become folklore internally. Most are here waiting to get poached to other companies. Think twice before coming!
