Pros

Great pay for the first 2 years of your career. The Band 1/2 colleagues are amazing. Great self created culture by those individuals only. There a lot of young people you will be working with, which in turn has turned 50% of the company dating each other. This inherently creates office politics.

Cons

Zero work life balance. You are expected to work 60 hours a week. No support teams. Band 3 and above management are micro managers, who message track everything you do, with zero flexibility on how you perform a task. Company celebrates diversity and inclusion, but there is no diversity of thinking. Everyone needs to think a single way. People start off with energy and high hopes. In a quick few months, everyone turns into a zombie. They plug their headphones in to listen to music and you sit there for 9 hours a day like a robot.

Pros

- Good pay for first 2 years - Good place to learn foundational business skills - Good place to start your career, but beyond 2 years is not worth it - the people (not management) are usually kind and helpful - flexible work arrangements like work from home

Cons

- I think management is self-absorbed, more worried about making themself look good and message tracking rather than growing the business - from what I've seen, it looks like people are leaving the company at high rates, losing good people in finance, brand and sales - I think PG has lost it's prestige and can no longer attract top talent - finance promotion timing and pay seems to lag peers in brand and sales - in my opinion, finance and some brand management have no clue what they are doing - opportunities in Canada are limited, typically have to go to the US to move up - stock is flat over 5 years, nearly no organic growth and in my opinion no signs of a turnaround - morale is what I think at an all-time low, it is not a fun and rewarding place to work anymore - bureaucracy overload. Very internally focused, little external considerations

Dual citizenship

Pros

Comfortable environment, work from home

Cons

There is a dual citizenship: people who are in "manager" positions, and people who are in "administrative" positions (includes product supply and other key functions). Opportunities are very limited for the admin positions, there is a clear glass ceiling and they hardly ever allow for anyone to move to "manager" position even with the highest ratings.
