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!
