Pros

Multinational company, promotes diversity and inclusion, good benefits, strong brands

Cons

Though Henkel promotes smart work, there are still many people managers who are micromanaging, lack of empathy especially to thriving mothers and selfish (doesn’t give opportunities like projects etc to team members). When you get a bad boss, your career growth is over. Mass layoffs do happen (no bearing even top talents get laid off). Promoting “craft your career” culture but so difficult for internal movement (“who you know” is a leverage). HR’s Rotational program is limited, only for interns. Why not invest/open the opportunity to internal full-time employees who’s highly motivated, already adaptive to fast-paced environment or even a talent employee? Career growth seems to be very slow when you’re in a less team-oriented department.

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.
