Pros

Strong company values and culture focus: Henkel ´s management board has invested a lot in the cultural ambition which has been playing a key role in the way we work and it is evident how it created a sense of pride in the work. Global exposure: Working with teams across regions provides great learning opportunities and broadens professional perspective. Collaborative culture: Colleagues are supportive and knowledgeable, and cross-functional cooperation is generally encouraged. Career development: There is a great access to internal movement which includes mobility opportunities.

Cons

Work-life balance: Missing. Workload has increased since the pandemic and people resources are very limited. Complex and slow processes: Decision‑making can be slow and sometimes overly complicated. Digital tools are improving but still maturing: Systems are now the trend but there are still inefficiencies that impact daily work.

Pros

The job is not too difficult. You mainly work on your own, Pay and benefits are outstanding.

Cons

12 hour shifts. Only one tech per shift so vacations can be a bit dicey. Support from peers is low and there is a lot of back biting in the lab. Sometimes they seem to be lookng for a scapegoat.
