Current Employee – been working at Colgate-Palmolive as an intern for less than a year
Pros – The working environment, facilities are really alluring. The staff is co-opertive with high moral values and the motto of "fraternity". "Safety first" is what please me again because if there's life, there is everything.

Advice to Senior Management – Maintain the standards of this prestigious organisation. Long live colgate.

Former Employee – worked at Colgate-Palmolive as a contractor for more than a year
Pros – Great location, great training for learning how plumb and understand corporate thinking, first-class facilities, prestigious company. Lots of pleasant co-workers.
Cons – Expectation for precision in accounting for project budgets can be a bit lax. A bit much paper shuffling to balance internal departmental balance sheets – after all, it's all in the same company.
There are some cliques and some people who are their favorites don't always pull their weight.
Advice to Senior Management – Learn how designers think, just designers strive to learn how you think. Be more open to doing business with new outside creative vendors
