Pros

I joined only 3 months ago; great people who without exception gave me a very warm welcome; good benefits; fun place to work; Henkel should be on the top of your list if you want to develop your career beyond more traditional career paths; this includes mobility both within the US as well as globally. You constantly bump into colleagues who had worked in e. g. marketing in one country and then transferred to entirely different functions or businesses in another. Mobility and talent exchange seems to be genuine part of Henkel’s DNA.

Cons

Governance: balance between global and local are work in progress but best intentions and awareness to further improve are palpable. On the benefits side: parental leave needs to be added.

Pros

The job is not too difficult. You mainly work on your own, Pay and benefits are outstanding.

Cons

12 hour shifts. Only one tech per shift so vacations can be a bit dicey. Support from peers is low and there is a lot of back biting in the lab. Sometimes they seem to be lookng for a scapegoat.
