Colgate-Palmolive reviews

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. .

* Extremely conservative. If you're looking to break the mold in any way whatsoever, you're at the wrong company. While management gives innovation a lot of lip service, in reality, there is much too much inertia and 'failure is not an option' attitude for anything truly groundbreaking to take hold. * A lot of 'dead wood' middle management . Yes, every company has it's share of managers who's stars have faded, but Colgate seems to have more than most. The sequence of 'Voluntary Early Retirement Programs' in recent years have cleared much of it out, but there are a few notable exceptions. * High percentage of decisions made unnecessarily high in the organization. Most middle managers are unable to make any decisions of consequence.
