Procter & Gamble reviews

VERY long work hours and HEAVY workload - although they encourage you to stop working past office hours, you will have to force yourself to work due to the amount of workload you'll have. Be prepared to lose a lot of sleep, especially during presentations or business reviews. Prepare to work on weekends too, as well as answering a lot of calls from customers and partners. Career growth is VERY competitive to a fault - if you don't get noticed by higher ups, you will find it very hard to get a good evaluation. Favoritism is still very apparent. You are EXPECTED to be the cream of the crop. Right when you are hired, they expect you to stand out and be great. Meaning, failure will never be an option. Once you do, be prepared to make up for it by exceeding expectations by LOT, or else your future evaluations will always be affected by your past failures.

P&G has lost its heart. While there is still a seemingly strong drive for PVPs, this does not come to life. Senior leaders are not penalized for harassment cases filed against them, double standard compare to how low level employees are penalized. These are investigated but are dismissed as employees being too sensitive. People have had anxiety and depression because of P&G and P&G leaders. Many Top leaders are considered by people below as disrespectful but are lauded for their excellence, so it’s ok to be disrespectful and quite honestly A-holes as long as you sell soap. So young leaders feel that they have to be bad people to succeed. They brag about work life balance but they ask people to come back from leaves early, expect people to work on weekends and at nights to show DRIVE FOR SUCCESS. It’s also quite political - you can be MARKED X if one leader does not like you. This has ruined careers, with the way P&G moves employees as expats, where leaders stay only for a few years, one could have worked hard and produced strong results, in the pipeline to get promoted but one new leader can just ruin this and say negative things and the career is gone. And you just wait for the leader to leave, and try again. Or leave.
