Pros

Colgate is a really wonderful place to work! The employee population is an interesting mix of tenured employees who have grown their careers at CP (lots of institutional knowledge!) and newer people who bring their outside expertise to the business. There is a ton of passion and enthusiasm from employees, especially around our Company Values - Caring, Courageous, Inclusive - which really underpin everything we do as a company. Stable company, awesome brands/products, lots of really cool innovation being developed, and tons of opportunity to make an impact on the future of the business.

Cons

Technology in the HR space should be updated; hard to get involved in extra-curricular activities.
