Pros

P&G has wonderful brands and the scale necessary to compete in all the categories in which it competes. It is a great place to learn about world-class strategies and tools. If you can get an entry-level job (which is very competitive), then you have the opportunity to get exceptional training that will prepare you well for a career at P&G or other companies.

Cons

Very insular culture - you must come in at the entry-level ground floor to be eligilbe for advancement. Employees who come in through acquisitions find it difficult to be taken seriously by arrogant managers who think the P&G way is the only way. It is extremely difficult to join P&G mid-career - they like to promote from within. P&G has bloated support functions (compared to other competitors) staffed with people who seem a little too secure and comfortable to really care about good service and support.

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".
