Procter & Gamble
Who we are
What do Pringles snacks, Pantene Pro-V shampoo, Ariel Laundry detergent, Pampers diapers, Always pads, Alldays pantiliners, Tampax tampons, Hugo Boss perfumes and Head & Shoulders anti-dandruff shampoo have in common? They are 9 of over 300 brands of Procter& Gamble.
Founded in 1837 in Cincinnati, Ohio, P&G is now a global, fast growing, multi-billion dollar business, employing more than 140'000 people in about 80 countries and selling its brands to five billion consumers world wide. Our products are known for their quality and the continuous improvement they bring to the lives of our consumers.
The Company's headquarters for Western Europe moved to Geneva in 1999 joining the headquarters for Middle East & Africa as well as the General Export division based since the 50's in the city of Calvin. Our Geneva Office is now the regional headquarters for the two Global Business Units in which we operate: Beauty & Health and Household Care. Among the 2200 people we now have in our Geneva Office there are over 60 different nationalities, which makes it a really fun place to work.
Our Mission
P&G is a company with a strong culture: our integrity, sense of ownership and passion for winning are the characteristics that distinguish us from other companies. At P&G we consider people as our most important asset and therefore the development of each individual is a priority to us. As a new hire in this dynamic context, you will be able to contribute to your best in a challenging environment, where your own ideas and personality are your most important assets. Training on the job, as well as functional and corporate training will be an important aspect throughout your career.
At P&G we view diversity as a huge asset that generates fresh attitudes, different perspectives and exciting new ideas. Diversity is also about understanding people's individual needs and domestic commitments. Different circumstances require different working arrangements. That's why we've introduced various flexible work plans that allow you to continue on your career path while working fewer days per week or less hours per day. This means you can reduce your working week without reducing your work prospects. If you're a new parent, our Family Care Leave enables you to take a year's unpaid leave to enjoy time with your family.
All P&G people are also able to take a sabbatical of up to three months every seven years.
