Pros

P&G is extremely well respected among in-house organizations, particularly in the intellectual property sector. P&G is well organized, and provides outstanding training for new lawyers. The company typically recruits directly from law schools and allows new attorneys to handle high-level work very early in their careers. The profit sharing program provides a very comfortable retirement and Cincinnati has a low cost of living.

Cons

You can really only count on being promoted once (band 2 to band 3). P&G legal is a large organization with increasingly fewer slots at the top as the company has decided to become leaner at the leadership level. The situation is fine if you don't have aspirations to have organization responsibilities. But if you're ambitious and talented, you may be rolling the dice a bit because talent is buffered by timing and the needs of the organization with respect to promotions. Also, while the training of new attorneys is excellent, you may find that development of others is not specifically recognized and rewarded to the extent that you might expect. Some managers are known to cherry pick issues from their direct-reports so they can add certain experiences to their professional record. Enforcement issues, mergers/divestitures, and high profile freedom to practice strategies are notoriously snatched away from junior attorneys.

Pros

-Strong training ground for brand management -Managers are good for the most part

Cons

-Unfortunately this generation of VPs, SVPs Presidents, C-Suite and CEO are among the worst I've ever seen; soul draining culture and "frantic" versus thought-through strategies. Because P&G is up-or-out, unfortunately everyone who is at that level all operate the same: an obsession with work, high panic which ultimately leads to beating down on the organization to do more while not actually caring about the employees. There is an enormous mental health crisis in the Procter & Gamble walls right now that HR and leadership is just simply not looking to change because business results are more important to them -Career growth is a joke - 100% politics, 0% merit. Some of the most recent appointments within the company are very good examples of this specifically with multiple promotions to executive levels with questionable results and known emotionally abusive issues but are mentees of the CEO -Very weak compensation structure vs CPG peers (even though P&G does not think this). They claim cost of living in Cincinnati makes it competitive but if they did a true deep dive on total comp structure, P&G is abysmal after your first 2 years there
