Pros

1. Welcoming Culture: After spending 8 years at Henkel, leaving in 2024, and returning in mid-2025, I truly appreciate how the company values long-term relationships. Coming back felt like coming home. 2. Career Growth: Henkel offers strong development opportunities. My return was supported by clear onboarding and trust in my experience. 3. Global Exposure & Innovation: Working with international teams and being part of a company that prioritizes sustainability and innovation makes the work meaningful. 4. Supportive Leadership: Managers are approachable and open to feedback, which creates a positive environment.

Cons

1. Work-Life Balance: While flexibility exists, I often found myself continuing to work during leave, which made it hard to fully disconnect. 2. High Expectations: At times, workload and deadlines can be intense, requiring strong time management.

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.
