P&G offers the opportunity to experience full responsibility for your business area as of day 1, which will continue throughout your career. Further, given the assignment rotation at P&G there is a lot of room to develop as a well-rounded finance manager.
People at P&G are diverse in all aspects. This makes working at P&G a great experience as there is – apart from a wide range of professional skills - a lot to discover
Actually, whilst having started in Frankfurt and currently being in Frankfurt, I spend most of my career in Geneva (Switzerland), doing various roles in Corporate Finance, Financial and Strategic Planning and Financial Analysis across different business units.
The strategies I implement for my costumer have an immediate impact on the ‘real’ world. Every time I visit a retailer store I can see the changes I worked with my customer.
That understanding both customer & shopper is crucial for success. The customer decides how he wants to support you and the consumer ultimately decides how relevant a product is. In order to be successful you need to understand both, which is accomplished through the multifunctional team setup at P&G.
P&G has a unique way of supporting individual talent and building successful teams to lead businesses. This is resulting in an environment where you can implement your ideas from day one while having fun and being inspired by your peers.
I wanted to work in a multifunctional team rather than being restricted to one perspective on business issues.
Even though I am an intern in Finance and Accounting, I work closely with Sales and Marketing. I enjoy working in a multifunctional team and have the chance of benefiting from their skills and experiences. Despite being new to the team, my ideas are appreciated, I can make a difference for the business and learn skills beyond Finance and beyond work.
P&G offers great opportunities to develop as a person and professional. Most important, the employees at P&G are very friendly and helpful. I can highly recommend working at P&G.
The fact that every day comes a new challenge and there is always something new to learn. Secondly, it is so great to see the spirit and team work of diverse group – especially when facing challenging situations.
That I can stay true to myself and that I can come to the office in the morning with a smile and leave it being equally happy!
“Buddies” or partners in crime
P&G has a very warm, vibrant and accommodating environment. Colleagues are very helpful and provide valuable feedback and suggestions.
I got the wonderful opportunity to write my Master thesis in collaboration with P&G. Soon, I will also start as a full time employee in a different site in Germany.
Yes! Certainly.
It is vitally important to be collaborative and value differences. With everyone enabled to speak up, these differences always lead to the best possible solution for our business.
P&G is coaching and training employees for a leadership career. As a raise from within company, P&G seeks to develop and enhance leadership potential in all its employees. This means that I am rewarded if I have passion and ownership for my business or project.
I always wanted to work in Finance/ Controlling but never liked the idea of purely juggling numbers without being in touch with the product, the market and the consumer. This is where P&G is different. Finance is seen as a business partner within multifunctional teams that provides financial leadership and drives value creation.
Due to frequent job rotations P&G promotes a great learning culture where you can constantly develop on a personal and professional level. As an Accounts Receivable Manager for instance I focus on managing external relationships while leading a great team of accounting clerks.
I really like at P&G that you are taken seriously at work. Right at my first day I had the impression that my work will really make a business impact and that I will be appreciated for my work. Furthermore, I enjoyed experiencing how approachable and professional the people are at the same time. In my opinion, this is the perfect combination to thrive in your work and enjoy it.
It is very crucial to me to have very good opportunities to develop during my career. P&G offers great trainings that help me to achieve this goal. Furthermore, it is important to me to work in a pleasant environment
I am currently working in a European Customer Marketing role, responsible for one of our biggest ecommerce customers. Previously I was working consumer focused on initiative design and delivery into markets. I really enjoy being now part of a customer team where I am turning the consumer knowledge into business opportunities with the customer. This requires new skills beyond my marketing function such as negotiation trainings.
The culture of P&G is our backbone. I value most the great quality of people we work with and our strong values especially when it comes to trust into employees.
As an intern at P&G, you do not assist in daily business, but you manage your own project. This implies full responsibility right from the beginning. I really appreciate that I can freely decide about all project-related topics and that I am the person in charge for any questions or feedback. At the same time, I can approach everybody in the company, no matter which level in hierarchy for support and coaching. It shows how P&G is both trusting and promoting its interns.
