Pros

Although Henkel is a large global company, its business units are run independently enough to leverage our size and scale while still staying focused on our unique regional customers and products. There is a strong emphasis on innovation and how individuals can positively impact their respective teams and drive the company forward.

Cons

Like any other large company there are still challenges in terms of different processes, but Henkel does a good job of staying close to their employees for feedback and continuous improvement.
