Pros

low stress environment work-life balance kind coworkers learning environment free snacks sometimes balance of men and women workers

Cons

no official opportunity to meet with other temps/lab techs conservative coworkers (some male employees would say some lightly sexist statements - one female employee would say some traditional ideals) pay is low have to pay for lunch some coworkers are workaholics and would demand the same from you lacking racial diversity-meaning there are not much Black people working here.

Pros

Good benefits and interesting industry

Cons

Toxic management in Asian team continuously playing politics and putting employees jobs at risk to gain their own agenda. Colgate favours internal employees who have stayed with company for years opposed to bringing fresh talent but this only leads to managers with lack of leadership experience and who micromanage. Unfair treatment of employees as lack of credit given where it is due and management claiming credit for themselves. Internally structure is so bad and slow with a lot of unwillingness to change but yet will blame new employees for not fitting in or understanding the business. Horrible and worse experience ever exacerbated by the most inexperienced manager who never listened to the team, continuously gaslighting and with absolutely no social skills and protected by HR. Forget career growth as there is little to none. Practices diversity in US but diversity is lacking in Asia.
