Pros

The culture of the company really resonates with me. Working in HR, for me its critical that the company cares about its people and I truly think the caring value really comes to life, and I have experienced the same having worked across different teams and countries. There are also a lot of opportunities for development and growth especially if you are open to move to other countries or move cross-functionally

Cons

In some areas of the business, including HR, we have very lean teams so several teams are overwhelmed with workload Being a matrixed organization sometimes decision making is not very clear and people in different teams or locations own different parts of a process which can take time or represent administrative burden

Pros

Basic salary is better comparing to many MNC in the region. Benefits and increment/bonus are less appealing.

Cons

Complexity in workplace cause heavy workload to employees . All the digital systems are a flash of pan. These systems do not integrate into daily workloads to increase efficiency of employees. In addition, everyone work in the most inconvenience way as possible to show their value in the job for job security. No career progress according to market standards, Colgate only recognized internal training provide by e-learning system. Eventually employees lost their sense in the job market.
