    Carefree intern, not much guidance provided.
    The good thingsVery carefree intern experience as I was allowed to work from home for 4 out of 5 working days, parking was provided and supervisor was very helpful and motivating.
    The challengesSadly, I was the only intern in the IT department and the manufacturing sector has no dedicated IT team or leader to assist me with even a basic framework.

    Enjoyed the pace and working environment
    The good thingsThe colleagues are very friendly and helpful. The managers are willing to teach and guide where ever necessary. The pace in the company is suitable for those fresh entry graduates to learn the trade. The environment enable the individual to have a good work life balance. The people there are able to separate work and play. The people are easy going and the average age is quite young therefore enable adapting easier.
    The challengesCertain processes could be removed to enable process to be completed quickly. Currently there are a lot of steps which one must get for approval to execute an activation.

    7 years at colgate
    The good thingsColgate has prided itself in being the most ethical multinational company in the world. The company provides training on its ICPE FCPA and code of conduct so that all employees observe the best practices to create a good working culture. The company also is provides a multitude of training so that employees can do their work better.
    The challengesColgate can sometimes be too centralized in decision making that it constantly challenges employees to seize the opportunity. Colgate is focused on rewarding the sales team and not the other supporting departments makes an employee very unappreciated. Their traditional stance on business also makes them lack focus on the other aspect of business that will make a difference in the future

    Unstructured Review System
    The good thingsGood parking benefit. Nice Canteen. Good performance related bonus plan and medical plan.
    The challengesPressure cooker to work there. The organization for manufacturing was too lean until it became not productive. Eg: A person has many responsibility until everything is not done fully, dropping the ball causing issues with other peoples deliverables.

    Great Learning Environment But Bad Work Life Balance
    The good thingsColgate Palmolive provided a good platform to start my SAP Career through continuously learning and project involvement. Strong Knowledge Management has provided the new joiner with proper documentation to be refer and guidance to pursue their career. In addition, there is always an opportunity to involve cross region project to share your expertise and gain extra skills set.
    The challengesThere is always a problem of compromising the time zone differences where Asia Pacific Team always required to accommodate the US & EU time differences. This has caused the AP Team Members required to work day and night in order to attend meeting, training and discussion. Furthermore, poor understanding of Asia Pacific Government Policy and Culture has lead to complexity in rolling out IT Project.
