Testimonials
EFS really made a difference to my life. After coming back home I crossed out all the banks and consulting companies from my potential future employer list. I was so impressed by P&G! During those 5 days in Geneva we were running a real business, making serious decisions, experiencing challenges of teamwork and learning responsibility. Moreover, we were treated like real P&G employees and I can say – it is not that bad at all ? I was simply amazed by the dynamics of FMCG industry and the energy of P&G people surrounding me. In the last morning, while jogging around the lake of Geneva famous for its wonderful fountain, I realized how lucky I was to be there. And somehow, I felt that with P&G dreams come true!
Sandra Poznaka, Latvia, EFS 2009
When I was selected for the EFS, I took for granted that I would have had fun, met a group of outstanding international students and had the opportunity to take a close peer to the work of P&G employees. Well, all this happened! That definitely makes the EFS one of the most valuable experiences I have had so far in my whole life. From the amount of resources and time the company spent for the organization of the event, I could see how P&G values talent and looks after its reputation as an employer - we could closely feel the firm’s commitment to making us living an unforgettable experience. To conclude, I would suggest even the most skeptical student to apply for the EFS 2010 - the risk-reward profile is nothing else but attractive!
