Broken promises and toxic management overshadow initial training

Pros

The brand looks good on a CV, and the initial onboarding/training process was okay. Some colleagues in the local team are decent people, but the corporate management ruins everything.

Cons

The "Internal Mobility" Trap: When the company decided to downsize our department, management looked us in the eyes and promised: "Don’t worry, this is not a shift of people, it’s just a shift of positions. We will help you relocate internally." It was a complete lie to prevent panic and keep people working until the last day. 4 Months of Rejections: Over the course of four months, I actively applied for various internal vacancies (including Operational Controlling and others matching my background). Result? Immediate, generic rejections for every single application. The internal recruitment system is a joke; they do not care about retaining experienced employees or honor their promises. Toxic Bureaucracy: Management protects their own interests while treating operational specialists as easily replaceable headcount numbers. False Stability: Henkel loves to pitch itself as a stable, family-owned global giant with great values. In reality, their "values" disappear the moment they need to cut costs.
