Pros

Good working environment and team. Interesting projects and very innovative products. Company with good ethical values ​​and vision, reliable and secure.

Cons

Very hierarchical structure and political leads to very slow and centralized decisions. You lose a lot of time in meetings and processes and there is little incentive to new ideas (excessive bureaucracy). Lack of decisiveness and flexibility to local teams and heavy dependence on central structure. Career management and training nonexistent, professional recognition informal and not consistent.

Pros

I’ve been with Henkel for over 5 years. I’ve been giving many opportunities to work on new projects and make an impact. Plus, it is amazing to see how the company continues to invest in providing a strong employee experience and growth opportunities. I truly love working here and have some of the most inspiring, talented team members.

Cons

Henkel is a global corporation, which sometimes leads to processes being complex and taking longer than anticipated. However, the company is really embracing an “impact over perfection” mindset to support being more agile, and it is working!
