Pros

Flexible working time Lots of home office Easy work Very decent colleagues within Henkel Slovensko Truly ethical company and honestly trying to be sustainable. Good place to work if you have kids/other family you need to care for, planning for maternity leave, etc.

Cons

Menial work - this is a Service Center, despite what management keeps telling you. Not a good place to start a career. As onboarding, they sit you behind your PC, you watch corporate videos for a few days and then click away day after day with no end. It must be truly depressing to think this all work can be (it is not). People from the “real” Henkel tend to treat your with little respect or even as a servant. Almost everyone is reluctant to talk back to them (because they are the ones sending us work). There is no career progress to speak of - you can become a senior, but that just means you get to decide how the boring work is going to be done. For an engineer with any creativity this is a dead end. Salaries are kept as low as possible, inflation was completely ignored.

Pros

If you like pizza they give free lunch once in a while

Cons

Workload is too much to handle for the amount you are being paid. Managers don't care after the entire team tells them they are struggling. Need a degree to become a customer service manager even if you have years and years of experience. Worried about being in the office one day a week when people are struggling to get work completed and have to stay on way past their shift and sometimes log in later on at night.
