Pros

In such a unfavorable situation in the world due to the Covid-19, Henkel has been showing a highly positive and impacting attitude with employees, customers and partners. This keep us committed to continue doing our best in our daily activities. The company is making every effort to protect our health and our job. Since 2015, the company already had the culture of home office, flexible-hour and short-Friday. It contributes a lot to our success in working from home in this new scenario. The company maintains a clear and transparent communication at global and local level, giving all support to the employees. Globally, Henkel launched the program known as "Together Against Corona", in solidarity with the current situation we are facing right now. In Brazil launched a campaign called #colanessacausa, through this campaign we will provide meals to people that really needs. Pritt, Loctite and Cascola brands provided 30.000 meals and the Fritz Henkel Foundation provided the equivalent of 100.000 meals as part of the Global Solidarity Program I am very proud to work for a company that impacts the world and people in such a positive and humanity way. A company that really makes a difference in the lives of their employees, customers, suppliers and society as a whole.

Pros

Work-life balance: it´s okay, but depends on you to manage your time Benefits: good package Promotions: rare

Cons

Because Henkel is a centenary company, also, there are "centenary" employees working there, with limitations in term of open mind - they don´t want to change or dare the system.
