Pros

People are respectful and managers generally treat employees well. Colgate is a well oiled machine with solid results. Opportunity to move internationally. Leaders are competent & thoughtful. An environment which does not make employees insecure.

Cons

Can be conservative at times. Not many Asians at top management globally though that is changing. Many senior employees who will not leave company thus blocking opportunities for people reporting to them.

Pros

Very successful company with great benefits. Wonderful place to start your career. You get to work closely with some of the most successful companies in the world (Like Wal-Mart)

Cons

Very thick glass ceiling that can only be shattered by moving up the chain slowly. Seriously -it takes decades to advance there.
