Pros

Global Exposure and Growth: I started Henkel in Türkiye as Purchasing Specialist, now I am responsible for procurement activities in the region. Continues Growth Opportunity: Company provides different career opportunities in different area of interest. Leading in Sustainability: Company targets leadership in Sustainability which makes me personally and professionally happy. Employee Profile: Down to earth, nice people to work with. Managers are reasonable. Office Conditions: Flexible office days and time.

Cons

Market Pressure: VUCA world pushes you to be active all the time. Time Zone Difference: Global company, sometimes you need to wake up early or stay late for regional/global projects. Decision Making: For projects, you are flexible (empowered), but to change/modify rules, procedures, you require too much time (VUCA world) Limited Budgets: Budget constraints for easy travel Risk of Burnout: People may not understand, but sometimes focusing on many targets lead to extra stress.

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.
