Pros

Opportunities to travel when budgets allow, plenty of business units / regions to choose from for next challenge

Cons

Review system for current employee performance is a bit outdated and not motivational (doesn't result in promotions when it's promised to, etc.), "hitting the numbers" results in travel and training bans too often, more presentations and discussion on strategy than execution (common in large companies) resulting in very slow moving progress, work/life balance is not a high priority in most regions

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!
