Pros

A majority of my co-workers are smart, honest, and competent, and people are held accountable for their work plan. There are many opportunities for training and development, and team building is important. Health and wellness is important, so there are great programs available. The benefits are very good. Learn everything you can as companies like recruiting former P&Gers.

Cons

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.

Pros

Many intelligent people who are experts in their fields who are willing to help and provide advice (if they have time). Decent benefits and pay.

Cons

I mentioned time because many people are stretched and overworked. Work life balance is pretty bad and shows no signs of improvement. A lot of this can be attributed to near useless management. Every project is treated as absolute maximum priority but can still be dropped at a moment's notice. Work processes are horribly cumbersome and slow. Even small changes require many approvals but there are endless demands to "move faster".
