Pros

Colgate provides a lot of avenues of cross-functional exposure. Also,they encourage high levels of independence & accountability. Good training, both in house as well as though e-learning, is another strength.

Cons

There is a shortage of a formal mentoring program. Also, not so frequent exposure to senior management can sometimes be demotivating.
