Employee - Manager / Senior Manager
When I was there, the culture tended not to be collaborative. Particularly in the brand management area, "leaders" were those who constantly pushed other people (within their own group but also other groups, e.g., staff) rather than inspiring others to reach a common goal, which was seen as too slow and inefficient. Although P&G sought diversity, it expected everyone to be the same in terms of "leadership." It tended to be more of the traditional white male (which I am) command and control, and employees from other cultures that valued a collaborative approach did not advance.

Again, I want to make clear that I worked for P&G from 1981 to 1992 as a lawyer. I am happy to provide this feedback, but I would not want anyone to think that my views reflect P&G as it is today and to act on that. Based on my experience since leaving, I would say that P&G provided significantly better training, personal development, and interesting/diverse work, providing me with a great deal of autonomy to determine how I would complete a task. That may have been due more to the culture within the Legal Department than in brand management. I completed an 18-month cross-training assignment in brand management and found the culture more rigid there. Great people, learned a lot about the business, but I was frustrated by the "this is the way you lead" rigidity.
Employee - Manager / Senior Manager
It is a great place to start working, they spend a lot of effort to be at the top on all their areas and invest in training their team, good people, with high competition rivalry.
Employee - Manager / Senior Manager
They are pioneers in many business fields and that is exciting surfing on such levels. I enjoy learning and always having the sense of challenging myself.
Employee - Manager / Senior Manager
Challenging your self in all aspects and build and shape you as high corporate executive. This gave me an important impulse to my professional career.

If you like retail, this is a terrific company where you will have the opportunity to learn tons of this industry. P&G is clearly a leader, and as such it is one of the companies setting the pace in the retail world. In my own experience, in sales, there are still some communication and negotiation insights I use today, and it's been 15 years since I left the company
Employee - Entry / Intern
The culture is very goal - oriented. They like to pamper their employees, however, being far away from Chile's HQ (which was my case), you tend to lose some details of the company's culture. P&G tries to nurture a competitive, but healthy, environment. They've got a strong sense of respect for each collaborator, and they strive to keep good, collaborative and respectful relationships among the collaborators. In my opinion, this sometimes makes the environment to be "artificially nice"; you have to be very careful with what you say, at the risk of being considered "inappropriate", which, for P&G's culture, is almost a mortal sin. If your viewpoints somehow breach this never clearly stated "being nice" policy, you may lose face. In general terms, employees, specifically the ones in sales, are very proud of P&G, which sometimes make them appear as arrogant, but they are nice people in general.
Employee - Entry / Intern
In Sales you have to be a hard worker, able to handle several, parallel tasks, all with high pressure levels. However, most of the tasks are very simple, with only very specific moments where you sit an negotiate with customers, and plan merchandising activities. The daily activities consume all your time, so it's rather hard to find time for more strategic analyses.
Employee - Entry / Intern
The company is progressive in many ways, provides support and programs for interns and co-ops and growth opportunities for all.
Employee - Entry / Intern
I worked in a large manufacturing facility that was just learning how to incorporate women in engineering and management. As an engineering co-op student who started working there at the age of 18, I was a bit too young for the experience and really needed more guidance from older women in my field. However, there weren't any available to provide that guidance.
