New CEO, company stuck in old ways

Pros

Good experience can come your way if you're lucky enough to have a good manager. There are lots of good leaders.

Cons

Huge company, slow everything. Too much politics not enough action to innovate. If the whole company was on board with the new CEO's vision, it would have been a nice place to work. But people are stuck in their old ways and unfortunately the old people are the ones making the calls. People tend to manage others based on seniority instead of actually being knowledgeable on their businesses. Culture sucks. Everyone is trying too hard to suck up to senior management and is afraid of constructive criticism. Even when they do team building events it seems like an item to check off a list instead of putting their whole heart behind it in order to better the team and culture. Everyone is burnt out. Too much responsibility, too little recognition. People don't try to innovate much, because by the time the results come up, they will probably not be working for the same part of the business anyway. So most of the time its not worth taking risks and challenging the old ways of getting things done. Lots more to say, but this should give you an idea. Watch out for your back. Lots of back stabbers.

Pros

Global, top consumer products company. Opportunities to broaden your experiences across multiple categories and roles and around the world. Solid ethics. Multifunctional team groups. Ownership and passion for your work, job and company are encouraged and facilitated. Profit sharing truly accumulates and becomes very meaningful for your retirement if you can make it 20+ years.

Cons

Change is cumbersome. Virtually all levels except top and restructure team are powerless when restructures are planned. You are treated very, very well until it is determined your time to go. At this time, your ownership and passion are expected to stop.

Pros

Good salary. Good benefits although they are either being eliminated, benefit is decreased, or employee cost of benefit has increased. Lots of challenges/opportunities to show yourself.

Cons

The company is not what is was 2 decades ago. Benefits have been eliminated, reduced, or now more cost is being passed onto the employee. Profit Sharing Trust has been decreasing over the years from 17.5% to a 15% plan (average of all of P&G contributions to your PST account during a normal (???) career span. This can be substantial as raises most likely will trend downward as the company restructures itself in one of the largest restructurings in its' history. Company is selling 1/3 of its' brands, eliminating 35% or more of its' global employees by 2017. People managers are not trained in managing people, but are rated more on how they manage the work with the limited resources they have.
