Pros

Very prestigious comapany, treated like royality when interacting with companies outside of Proctor and Gamble. Proctor and Gamble is very supportive of continuing education. Facilities are state of the art..

Cons

As a Gillette "carry over" life at Proctor and Gamble (P&G) was shear misery. "Gilletters" are second class citizens in the world of P&G. You are constantly reminded that P&G is superior to anything Gillette, including it's personnel. There are two sets of compensation and benefits; one for the "true P&G" employees and the other for the "Gillette carry overs". The lesson to be learned here is; if your company is being bought or persued for purchase by P&G, BEWARE. Despite what P&G may promise the employees of the tendered company, the reality will be misery.

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".
