Pros

Nothing good to say about Henkel

Cons

My experience at Henkel was profoundly disappointing and stands out as one of the most challenging periods in my professional life. The management lacked professionalism, which was evident in their poor communication and interpersonal skills, creating an environment that felt disorganized and unwelcoming. There was a noticeable absence of a cohesive office culture, which further contributed to a sense of isolation among employees. Additionally, the HR team failed to address concerns effectively, leaving many issues unresolved and fostering a climate of frustration. Overall, the combination of these factors made my time at Henkel not only unenjoyable but also detrimental to my professional growth.
