P&G runs a high-volume early-career funnel, with clear β€œrecent grads” and internship routes and a published hiring process that explains assessments and timelines. Support is a highlight because P&G publicly describes structured development systems, mentoring, and active performance coaching, but some claims rely on P&G’s own materials rather than independent outcome data. Pay signals are positive where salary ranges and starting salaries are published, though coverage varies by country and role.
