Pros

Working at P&G will prepare you to work in other companies. By forcing you to commit to the whims of your manager, as opposed to the goals of the organization, you learn to pivot quickly. If you are one of the “anointed” there is nothing you can do wrong: you can steal other peoples work and barely do any of your own and you’ll still succeed.

Cons

If you are not one of the “anointed” there is little you can do right. This is not a company based on meritocracy (they tell you this explicitly over and over again in their endless diversity indoctrination). The only thing that matters are your immutable genetic characteristics. The person who rose fastest during my time at P&G was among the most incompetent and unethical people I’ve ever worked with; this person would steal other peoples ideas, lie about the people working with and for them, and wholly plagiarize work performed by their direct reports.

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".
