Testimonials
In 3 words: "Discover P&G, Do-It-Yourself, Dazzling"
Participating in the P&G Masterclass was like getting inside a rollercoaster that took me for a marvelous weekend trip: checking in full of expectations on Friday evening and checking out on Sunday evening with lots of impressions that surpassed my wildest hopes!
The energetic people of P&G brought a splendid mix of workshops and entertainment. As I was interested in Logistics, I participated in a lot of workshops that gave me some insight in the way the supply chain of P&G is built-up. I participated in some theoretical workshops, a supply chain game with a complete manufacturing hall where we produced our product using Lego building blocks and a market planning game followed by a presentation dealing with the results of the game. This Masterclass was a great immersion into P&G and Supply Chain Management!

In 3 words: "Challenge, Fun and not-to-miss-for-the-world!"
As an engineering student, I attended the P&G Masterclass without really knowing what to expect. I had no previous commercial experience, which is why I was keen to learn more and discover what it means to have a commercial function at P&G. The result was mind-blowing: during two days, we solved a business case about launching Pringles on the Belgian market (by pretending it hadn't already existed). We had to touch upon every subject (how much will we sell? what is the best price?) and formulate a strategy: depending on market analysis and pricing, we were given fictive budgets for a marketing campaign. Even though it was all new to me, it was surprisingly down-to-earth and easy to grasp.
But the most interesting thing about the Masterclass is that you get to know the company culture. You spend enough time to get to know the people and see how they work together. Feeling comfortable in the business environment you work in is very important, and I felt immediately that I could fit right in.
Of course, it wouldn't be a successful Masterclass if there weren't any dinners and parties! Not only can you get to know the P&G people even better and have a good time, you also make friendships among the participants that last long beyond the Masterclass itself!

In 3 words: "Learning, Team Spirit, Excitement!"
My overall experience of the Masterclass was highly positive and it clearly convinced me that P&G is THE right company to start working in marketing. The Masterclass helped me to realize that P&G is the expert in marketing and that this company will provide me with all the tools to become a brand manager full of talent. I enjoyed diverse business games that highlight the fact that working in a team is crucial at P&G. And of course, P&G is linked to parties: I still have some great memories of the karaoke or of the party at the Mirano! I can only recommend subscribing to the Masterclass and making your own judgment. Maybe you are the next Assistant Brand Manager of one of the P&G Brands!

In three words: "Fun, Challenge, Great Experience!"
Are you attracted by a weekend full of real life management challenges combined with a great portion of fun between both young and experienced P&G professionals? Then you really have to apply for the Masterclass! To discover P&G and its culture we had the opportunity to virtually launch Pringles in Belgium during the day and afterwards we went to fancy restaurants and had great parties. The Masterclass is really an unforgettable experience!

In three words: "Fun, Interesting, Challenging!"
The Masterclass offers a great opportunity to learn more about P&G. It offers you a clear insight about how working at P&G feels like. Divided into small groups you try to solve real life cases. Furthermore you are given the opportunity to talk to a lot of employees, both junior and senior management, which is truly interesting and inspiring. As people are an important element in the success of P&G, you immediately notice how special the culture and atmosphere at P&G really are. But it is not all about work. Sign up and experience how the "work hard, play hard" culture mounts into loads of fun and great parties. This weekend sure convinced me to work for P&G.
