Welcoming team and smooth onboarding, but lacks facilities

Business Outlook

Pros

Last Monday was my first day and the CMD APAC team welcomed me so warmly. I have been wanting to work with Henkel since as an intern last year, and now as an official employee, I am very much excited to add value to the department and organization. Pre-onboarding process was very smooth as recruitment team was responsive. HR team, IT staff, reception area, and security personnel are very welcoming and attentive. Ultimately, I feel safe inside the office.

Cons

No lockers for new hires yet. Lack of facilities as well like nap room and recreation events like darts/table tennis/console games rooms and other similar activities where employees can drop by shortly to unwind from work.

Business Outlook

Pros

Diverse culture. Work-life balance varies by task and team. Benefits are competitive vs. other global support firms, but still need improvement. Good Provident fund.

Cons

With the head office situated in Makati, expenses related to working there are significantly higher. Also, having to report onsite 60/40 3 days every week is a major downside, when compared to other employers in this field that only require physical presence twice month.

Good pay and benefits, but challenging work environment

Business Outlook

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.
