Great place to learn but it's a dog eat dog world where it counts more how you show off than what you really perform. - Anonymous employee Procter & Gamble Employee Review

Pros

You get a lot of responsibility early on in you carreer which really allows you to grow. Also almost all people in P&G are intelligent which makes working a lot nicer and easier. Also, in general people are very helpful with each other, i.e. just picking up the phone and calling somebody from another department, country etc. will almost always be a success, i.e. people will try to help you out with your request / question.

Cons

Unfortunately when it comes to carreer progress, things become less positive. The promotion rules keep on changing, and current new starters are victims to poor HR previously, where many (not always so good people) where promoted quickly, now creating a lack of opportunities for promotions. Also, promotions are not necessarily based on good work but more on 'show off' projects which are not always good for the business, but create the very overstretched word 'visibility' which is all that counts in the end. The ones who try to do a good everyday work and actually keep the company turning shouldn't expect any credit for it.

Pros

training in in depth, training on job, basic star interview questions good company, stable benefits are somewhat cheap

Cons

training can be a lot, you have about 1-2hr presentations biweekly where you get tested on different aspects of the plant, like steam system, water system, utilities etc, training can last up to 6 months paid once a month, irregular times on call, may have to work weekends depending on machines work long shifts, sometimes up to 16 hours depending on how machines run, expected to be at work by 6am for safety meetings, 5am sometimes depending on the site you work at, expected to stay if machines run poorly can be demanding- most entry level managers are fresh out of college and expected to train and manage individuals who have worked at the company for decades not very easy to change departments, takes a couple of years no matching 401k, they have their own profit sharing thing, if you quit before 3-4 years at the company, you lose the money

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".
