Supportive culture with great work-life balance
Pros
I've been with Henkel for more than five years, and I can confidently say that the company has a positive and supportive culture. Work-life balance is one of its strongest advantages, allowing employees to maintain a healthy balance between their professional and personal lives. Henkel actively encourages employees to participate in initiatives that are meaningful to them, including volunteering, supporting NGOs, and contributing to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) programs. The company provides a safe and inclusive environment where employees feel respected, valued, and empowered to grow. There are many opportunities to take on projects, drive continuous improvement, and develop new skills. Employee contributions are recognized not only for business results but also for the positive impact they create within the community and society.
Cons
As with any large global organization, some processes and approvals can take longer due to multiple stakeholders and alignment requirements. However, this is often necessary to ensure quality decisions and consistency across the business.
