Good but not on a good way.

Business Outlook

Pros

Henkel had a good Culture. Employees were proud to be Henkelaner. That's history.

Cons

Just shareholder driven. Cost savings alone can't bring Henkel closer to competitors. Nobody wants to hear anymore the truth. Employees gave up to challenge Status quo as only "Yes" mentality keeps them in Job.

Business Outlook

Pros

Good people, higher than average salaries for Phoenix, Half-day Fridays, Flexible schedules depending on department, Newer building

Cons

Pressure due to disconnect with HQ (Dusseldorf, Germany) on many issues. Frustration as more senior managers/VPs/GMs filled with ex-pats and the disconnect is filtered down to those who execute.
