I applied to a separate Dept some years ago and had to take a kinda crazy standardized test. My understanding is it's company-wide. It basically seem to be testing IQ/Analytical chops and then another section of work-style/interpersonal dilemmas.

As someone who normally rocks tests, I found this one crazy hard, especially the way it's timed. My application was rejected and you can't re-test for like a year.

Researching later, some folks indicated they only take the top 1% of applicants, which is a bit surprising. I've met quite a few P&G'ers, and they are by and large sharp overachievers, but never struck me as geniuses. One bit of advice someone shared on the personality test that may be helpful: answer like Ned Flanders.

Might want to tag the company for more eyeballs.

I grew up in Cincy and worked on a number of campaigns as a freelancer so lots of P&G stories.

Post-digital, everywhere is kinda crazy, but their rep growing up is it's a solid gig as far as security. The stock options are also generous. It seems to have that buttoned-down, follow-the-process culture, like a bank. Possibly a bit stuffy. If you want to move fast and break things, maybe not the right fit.

But everyone seems super conscientious and fairly sharp.

A number of people exit to start their own thing, sometimes selling back to P&G, so there's that.

I worked for P&G in Latam. Indeed super hard to get in. But the culture is frustrating, it's very hard to get fired and they used to let people "grow from within" so there is a lot of lazy people around and it's hard to implement change sometimes. There is also a lot of politics and it did not feel very meritocratic to me.

Thank you for sharing your experience. For people who aren't lazy, what does growth look like?

Very good benefits package.

They envision 2-3 years before I jump either to AD or right to D. Solid opp? Or hold out to go straight to director level?
