Procter & Gamble reviews

Extremely demanding in terms of time investment (difficult to manage if you don't have a good support system or value your life beyond work). The company doesn't value your life beyond work...just pays lip service to work-life integration policies. You will be working with a bunch of workaholics who are in blind love with the system. Their choice...but unfortunately it sets a wrong precedent for everyone. Leadership is full of taskmasters who simply create processes, trackers and meetings for anything and everything. Everyone is under pressure and the pressure gets passed down without any filter. People don't know any other way to operate. You will hardly find anyone questioning the non-sense that is prevalent all around in name of agility and growth mindset. Immature leadership...they may be super intelligent but the majority of them have lost touch with their humane side and don't know how to manage experienced employees. In a nutshell, they may have been able to deliver results by putting unnecessary pressure but they don't deserve to be people leaders. You will not fall in awe of your leaders here (there may be a few exceptions). Since most of the employees join fresh from college all they have is exposure to this company and most of them talk and think in the same way. Eventually, once they move up the ladder they take the same culture forward with them. If you are a lateral hire...put careful thought into what kind of freedom you expect at your life stage. Employees get critiqued and criticized publicly even for trivial things which you may have not seen in other bigger MNCs. Some of the issues may be more prominent in certain departments...make sure you gather true feedback before committing yourself to this organization. It is not a bad company...but don't have misconceptions that it will be a great company to work for just because it is P&G. P&G is an average employer and keep your expectations realistic before joining.
