Pros

Decent insurance. Recently hired someone over safety that actually knows what they're doing and seems to care.

Cons

No incentive to excel. Management does not seem to value hard working, dedicated employees that go beyond. No raises for years. Experience seems to mean nothing. Cheap is all that seems to matter. Workload is unrealistic.

Pros

People, Hybrid Work, Decent Pay

Cons

You will be treated like a number to this company. They do not care about you or your advancement. There are constant layoffs and the turnover is very high (as much as HR likes to deny this). Many of the managers are only managers because of length of time with company regardless of management experience or training, which creates toxic work environments for many employees. If you are looking for a place to grow this is not it as they will always choose to external hires over internals.

Pros

- Pay - PTO - Paid holidays - Building blocks for navigating other marketing positions

Cons

- micromanaging - micro aggression - office politics even if you’re remote - lack of diversity or any inclusivity - lack of resources for employees (remote especially) First, in my experience this was probably the most toxic and cliquey work environment I’ve experienced. there’s no autonomy at this company. Maybe it was the team i was placed on but very little autonomy. You will be chastised and gaslit for others mistakes and barely recognized for any accomplishments. Even if you are a remote worker, the micro aggressions and office politics tries to find a way through your screen. Even though they do not outright state their discomfort, they very much do politics to make you feel isolated and not valued. They don’t have much support for remote workers and will outright isolate you for not “being in the office”. Consistent technical issues that can only be handled in office (which sucks if remote) and even then they will take no accountability for the lack of resources put in place for you to perform your duties to the best of your ability. Lack of resources not only technically but also for the duties being asked of you. They expect for you to know exactly what they are looking for but do not give any resources to aid into that. Many obstacles to jump through (such as limited sick days - they expect for you to work on your PTO days AND when you’re sick remotely or not. No accountability and lack of planning / consideration for others time and caseload. Non required but “recommended” happy hours which aren’t really recommendations because they will isolate you and make your workload more of a struggle when not in attendance) because of the combination of micromanaging, politics, and serious micro aggressions on top of your regular job duties.

Thank you for being a part of our team in Stamford as a Senior Brand Marketing Manager and for taking the time to write a comprehensive review. At Henkel, we value the contribution of each individual and thus promote holistic diversity, equality, and inclusion in our company. In recent years, for example, we have been able to increase the share of women in management positions to 38.1 %. We want to continue our efforts in this and other areas and are for example striving for gender parity across all management levels by 2025. Beyond these efforts, we also strive to provide the best possible work environment for all of our employees. The well-being and satisfaction of our employees are of utmost importance to us, which is why we take your criticism very seriously. For this reason, we would ask you to get in touch with your former contact in the HR department to tell us more about your experience. Best regards, Your Henkel Team
