Henkel reviews

*This is entirely in regard to the Stamford, CT location.* Everything. This was the worst corporate culture I've ever encountered. The turnover rate is astonishing. My VP was the most toxic worker I've ever met. Consistent negative feedback, criticism that 9-hour workdays aren't enough, physically ill coworkers from stress, endless hours, and plummeting yearly results. No alignment among teams, no set structure, weak brands, toxic management, complete dependence on global management.

The Henkel culture is based on fear. Decision-making is so centralized that the local country can't even change the color of a flower on the packaging without approval from the sole global decision-maker (dozens of people can say "no" along the way, but only one person in the entire global company can say "yes"). Complete lack of true leadership, lack of motivation for employees. The company is in a downward spiral. Extremely high employee turnover - no respect for work/life balance, high rates of burnout.
