Pros

I recently joined the company, and I cannot emphasize enough the great collaborative culture I have witnessed so far. At Henkel, as a global firm, you have opportunities to partner with great people from all around the world and even work overseas. Culture and talent development have been differentiators, in addition to the great benefits. Some notable benefits include: 1) 401(k) match of 4% + incremental 2% match = 6% total 2) Dependent care (partially matched by employer)

Cons

Nothing major I can think of
