Pros

Great product lines and good R&D.

Cons

During the Loctite years, it was a great company with a great culture. In the last several years, Henkel out of Germany, has created a revolving door atmosphere where "profits" are the only thing that matters it seems. Only MBA's are considered for upper management jobs and many of those are people who are out of touch with what the "real" customers want. The headquarters in CT is extremely "cliquey" and, if you don't fit into one of the thriving cliques, you don't have a chance to succeed. It used to be a great "Team Environment" but most of those people have now moved on and it is an MBA Riddled Political Nightmare now!

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!
