Procter & Gamble reviews

Culture - the arrogance is awful. P&Gers are known as "bulldozers", so some companies avoid them or spend a lot of time determining if he/she is a good cultural fit. Boastfulness is also highly rewarded. Credit isn't given to all levels, and my work is regularly presented as if it were someone else's. It is a highly competitive, and with all of the brands being sold and jobs being cut, the competitiveness is at every level - even our admins! This level of competition actually keeps employees from sharing ideas and information critical to our jobs. If someone is a bad employee, they are moved to different teams rather than dealt with accordingly. HR is there to protect the company, not to help employees. There is no more continuity on the brands now due to the job cuts, so I see a lot of mistakes being made. Voluntary separation packages have been offered 3 times in less than 3 years.

Pg used to be one of the greats. We hired the best and the brightest. Now we hire the insecurest and the most self involved. Part of the issue are the logic and personality tests, then the interviews. We only look for leaders not managers. We don't offer any coaching on how to manage people then we turn a bunch of type a 20 somethings loose to manage a team. Those 20 somethings have now turned into 40 something directors with no ability to coach an organization. Take into account that packages have now reached the involuntary stage and you get a Super unpleasant enviroment. The execs at the top have outdated, unreasonable ideas about what is important, Pritchard still thinks facebook will save us in marketing. The leaders fight constantly which causes all projects to slow until we determine "who's is bigger"....there are no longer enough worker ants to save the Queen and moral is the lowest I've seen in 10 years.
