Pros

Procter is a great place to work if you have a love of marketing and brand management. It is first and foremost a marketing company, and this ethic permeates all functional areas, including even Global Business Services (IT, HR, etc). In general, Procter encourages employee initiative and strategic vision. Most employees tend to work 2 or 3 year assignments, then move on to other areas. This is great from the point of view of learning the business and acquiring new skills. Most Procter employees are hired from school, and unless you are part of an acquisition, the company might be hard to break into.

Cons

The internal "network" at Procter can be hard to break into if you are coming in from the outside. However, if you are an assertive and confident networker this should not be a problem. There is a strong emphasis personal "branding", that sometimes can seem more valued than tangible results. The rapid turnover of "assignments" can result in employees having a lot of breadth but not much technical or business depth in any one area.

Pros

Great Opportunty to gain skills and lead in challenging environment. Very smart people, best of the best. They are a promote from within company so you really can grow and learn and be promoted. Their benefits are great and they offer great flexible work arrangements. Everyone is very helpful. They are very community focused and always trying to give back. Even as interns they start you out with alot of responsibility. You will increase your leadership skills among others while there.

Cons

too many systems and procedures. Can be very competitive due to how ratings are given. There are alot of politics and networking. YOu need to know people to make the promotion process easier.

Pros

A big name on your resume. working for P&G opens the door for many future opportunities in CPG industry. Great people to work with. Communication is open and sufficient, and you can make friends with many lovely co-workers. Great benefits.

Cons

Rating system is very political, does not always reflect the truth. your manager's personal preference plays a key role on your performance. Not all the low-level managers are qualified. Many of them were promoted given the number of years they serve the company but not their talent. Don't be surprise to see your manager gives you lots of foolish 'coaching' or screaming at you... This situation will particularly hurt the new hires with experience somewhere else. You have to get start from the bottom given the promot from within policy, but your manager probably doesn't have the qualification to understand your talent and skills at all! Very hard to transfer your skills and experiences to P&G if you are an experienced professional. You are encouraged to learn lots of complicated rules on how to get works done on P&G's way rather than your own, new ideas are not encouraged. Work itself are pretty boring in Canada.
