Pros

Diverse colleagues Practical approach to marketing Great products Lots of exposure to senior executives Global movement highly probable Multifunctional teams allows for good sharing of best practices Best in class for margin improvement without compromising quality of products Great place for working mothers

Cons

Talks a lot about innovative problem solving and "out of the box" thinking but does not promote it or reward it among employees. Too conservative...kills creativity Like many corporations squeaky wheels get very far without Providing much results for the company No risk taking In Europe, vis a vis competition, colgate is more of a reactive company, not proactive in approach to their brands. .
