Colgate is a good company with good family values. I came here recently from another big consumer company. The management is no different than in any other company. Like everywhere, there are good and bad examples.
The problem of Colgate is that it is too conservative, slow and rigid, which negatively reflects in the fast changing business environment of today. One thing that struck me when I joined was how outdated the company was. It was like a trip back to nineties; labs, infrastructure, logistics, procurement... everything old and manual. Hopeful this will change soon...
I agree, @NZYGZK6-9sba. If we can move forward faster, I believe the company could get back to its former glory.
