Pros

• Previously Good Work-Life Balance: One of the few saving graces that kept talent from leaving was the relatively balanced workload — though this has significantly declined recently. • Global Brand Legacy: While the brand still holds some recognition from its legacy, its relevance is increasingly being challenged by newer, more agile competitors.

Cons

- While competitors are innovating with data-driven tools and AI, this organization remains overly reliant on manual work and legacy ways of thinking. - Data is fragmented, outdated, some are manually collected, making it unreliable as a foundation for strategic decision-making - leaders, often lack the vision or courage to drive meaningful / the right transformation - Talented employees are often overwhelmed with responsibilities across multiple functions with little support or recognition, - There is no robust system in place for social listening, consumer behavior analytics, or real-time feedback. Teams often have to guess, or reading trends manually plus gut feeling / to understand what the market truly wants — not what global thinks the market wants. - Projects often lack a clear roadmap or phased approach. came without structure and seems mess up more than start up company • On some project, use multiple stakeholders work on the same initiative without defined roles or boundaries, leading to inefficiency, duplication, and burnout. Empower local teams with autonomy, not overlapping pressure from every direction.

Pros

Work life balance is very good. Opportunity to engage with senior leadership in interesting projects. The collaboration and camaraderie is top tier! The investment into employees is amazing.

Cons

While I love remote work, it can feel isolating to some. It's not for everyone. I find ways to connect with my team and others at Kimberly-Clark. I also do a good job of managing my time and focus. However, if you struggle in those areas a remote job is not the way to go.
