Pros

Excellent company -- best CPG company anywhere. This company will support professional development for staff, including on line courses and degrees from major institutions. P&G is the gold card for CPG companies -- they are the masters in brand management and set the standard that other companies can only hope to come close to.

Cons

Located in Cincinnati OH and doesnt attract younger work force. Like any company, as you move higher in the ranks, the opportunities get less. However, management will support moving to a new assignment to broaden your experience.

Pros

Easy to sell products. We have the best products in the market. Products in every consumer product category. Amazing training. Intense training sessions along with online training database. Supervisors are extremely willing to help you along with your career path. Managers are not only looking out for the company but for your best interests as well. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at P&G because of the great company and amazing people.

Cons

Company is very very large. A lot of bureaucracy. Sometimes it's hard to get things done. Because of the importance of work/life balance, many people work from home so it makes it a little harder to coordinate meetings and scheduling projects together.

Pros

They invest alot in their employees' training opportunities. There is always an opportunity to learn about other areas of the company or to dig deeper into a topic of interest. P&G also strongly encourages collaboration, so you could really get into anything that they have to offer project-wise (as long as you have something to offer back). I would also mention job stability, but that goes for most large consumer products companies. They make it very clear how you can succeed within the company (by their definitions of success), but it is also possible for you to make your own way to meet your own definition of success as well.

Cons

Upper management is very resistant to change and new technology. Be prepared for your great ideas to be shot down...then adopted 3 years later once upper management can wrap their heads around it. The recruiting process is a mess, their [R&D] recruiting "teams" are people with full-time jobs in technical roles looking to make the numbers. They recruit as a "side job" so alot of people/papers/etc. fall through the cracks. If you aren't careful they will treat you like a commodity. If you do not have an engineering degree- ask SPECIFIC questions about everything. Never settle for the first "fluff" answer that they give you. Be prepared to be under-utilized your first 1-2 months (or more) with this company. They assume it takes a lifetime before you can contribute something of worth. Be persistent and take initiative to get meaningful work up front.
