Good benefits - 401K, time off, etc.

Cons

The Irvine, CA site let unqualified people be managers which leads to poor employee retention and high turn over rates.

Thank you for supporting us as an Analytical Chemist in Irvine and for looking back on your time with your review, even if you do not recommend us to others. On the one hand, we are happy that we were able to offer you more than a job with our benefits. On the other hand, it is important that you also feel comfortable in our company. This is why we take your criticism seriously and would be pleased if you could tell your former contact person in the HR department more about your impressions on site. We would be pleased if you could get in touch with us and thereby help us to improve. Best regards, Your Henkel Team

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!
