Pros

- People-focus organization - Great company culture, cared about people, community, values sustainability and not just bottom numbers - Offers competitive salary - Supportive and nurturing work environment. Provides limetless opportunities for growth and development - Stable, been in the industry for more than 100 years - Multinational company and great opportunity for learning because you get to work with colleagues from different locations, values diversity. - Smartwork set-up, you can enjoy work from home (or anywhere) and work in the office to allow more effective collaboration with your teams. The list can go on, there are lots of reason to love working at Henkel. Hard to find this kind of culture and company values. I've stayed here for many years and Henkel has helped me grow professionally and personally! :)

Cons

- Hard to think, minor challenge would be working in different shifts since we work with colleagues from different regions, but generally manageable and can be discussed since we have flexible set-up.
