Pros

- Benefits are still competitive with similar companies. - Pay is decent. - Most line level employees who actually do the work are great to work with and want to succeed. - Some facilities located in great areas. - Great place to gain experience supporting and delivering well-known global brands and products.

Cons

- The CEO is not respected or trusted by many rank-and-file employees. The CEO rating on this site is a good representation of the larger employee pool at Kimberly-Clark. - The 9-box grid forced ranking performance management system has driven salaried employee morale into the ground. People who used to love coming to work now hate it.. - This is no longer the house that Darwin built. And it really started getting bad over the last 8 years. - Low and middle level managers are afraid to challenge leadership above them. Senior leadership has not fostered an environment where people feel comfortable challenging the status quo.

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.
