Pros

Global Exposure and Growth: I started Henkel in Türkiye as Purchasing Specialist, now I am responsible for procurement activities in the region. Continues Growth Opportunity: Company provides different career opportunities in different area of interest. Leading in Sustainability: Company targets leadership in Sustainability which makes me personally and professionally happy. Employee Profile: Down to earth, nice people to work with. Managers are reasonable. Office Conditions: Flexible office days and time.

Cons

Market Pressure: VUCA world pushes you to be active all the time. Time Zone Difference: Global company, sometimes you need to wake up early or stay late for regional/global projects. Decision Making: For projects, you are flexible (empowered), but to change/modify rules, procedures, you require too much time (VUCA world) Limited Budgets: Budget constraints for easy travel Risk of Burnout: People may not understand, but sometimes focusing on many targets lead to extra stress.

Pros

The ability to learn on the job training by other experienced Maint Electricians is definitely a benefit.

Cons

Trying to grasp all the different technical terms used internally by the Henkel Maint team is a huddle I have to overcome.
