Pros

Very short hierarchy, very little time wasted in meetings, very fast-paced, entrepreneurial and action orientated. Salaries exceed that of similar companies.

Cons

The company treats staff as dispensable, especially those who are not employed on European contracts. Europeans (Germans esp) have preferential access to a career path. Everything is about the next quarter....Chasing results is often very short term, the company has zero appetite for long term investment in sustainable strategies.

Pros

Average Benefits, Average pay, Good place to start career before moving on.

Cons

Management is a bunch of insecure micro-managers. Was a great company, changed to the worst when aggressive goals were not being met and managers were more concerned about their bonuses, rather than the culture and ethics of the company. No chance for advancement. Management through intimidation.. Peter Principal alive and well in Henkel.
