Pros

I had the pleasure to work with many experienced professionals, who were passionated for this job at Colgate-Palmolive. I see great chances of exposure and growth for young professionals, since they know how to recognize and keep the most talented ones. They promote many lateral moves, which is very interesting, because you'll see some people from Operations who understand Quality, Engineering people working on Envorinmental field, etc. The result is a broad expertise for the management people. Also I received an interesting salary proposal, above from average for my level of experience.

Cons

Some positions on the highest management levels require a strenuous workload.

Pros

Extremely stable, no-surprises performance. Interesting, rewarding exchange with other geographies. Robust reputation and Brands.

Cons

Company is extremely self-centered, has a very low interest in preempting Competiton and is slow to react. Culture runs deep, and challenging the Status Quo is not welcome; coming into Colgate at a level beyond middle management is often frustrating as bringing in ideas from previous experience is not valued above "the way it's always been done". Compensation is sub-par, and when a promotion happens, raises are also inferior to external offers.
