Consumer Market Knowledge (Insights and Analytics)
Department: Insights and Analytics
My experience
Overview
Manager was too busy with COVID's effect on company so he delegated one of his subordinate. His subordinate had no idea what my manager wanted and she also never done my position so she just gave random(and often wrong) information. Was given the broadest assignments(How to make customer more loyal to one of our retailers, How to make our ecommerce strategy more efficient) with zero communication or guidance. The subordinate my manager gave me was worse than useless. One time, she gave me the wrong dataset which wasted a week of my time. Another time, she told me to not control for retailers' regional performance variations which led to some horrible results. This company is full of lifers and as such many people who stay are typically not the brightest and have nowhere else to go. The only good thing is that P&G is a brand name and the projects they gave me sound so good that I leveraged it for a six-figure job elsewhere. Company's pay practice explicitly states that seniority has equal or more impacts than performance. They also has been watering down the profit sharing plan so it's not even worthwhile to stay. Consumer Market Knowledge, now Analytics and Insights, pays around $75k strategy. Most people work more than 8 hours a day. Don't expect any impact as I saw many other deliverables by employees being shelved in the archives.
