When a friend first told me to come with him to a Colgate-Palmolive corporate finance internship interest meeting, I laughed. An internship at Colgate was not entirely what I had in mind as an internship for the next few years, and the thought was really funny. Nonetheless, I decided an internship at the company would be interesting, and agreed to attend. The day of the internship was just as humorous: when people asked what company I was going to see, it was hard not to laugh at their reaction when I said something such as “Colgate, bro”. The presentation given by the company was pretty interesting, however. The environment and culture seemed very friendly, and a great place for a college student to intern. Ultimately, I learned a lot from that meeting, and maybe next year I’ll apply to Colgate-Palmolive. (We also got gift bags with toothpaste!!)
