      "It is great place for upward career growth and strong compensation, however overall it is a pressure cooker. Do your research on the stock price history since 2015 and the history of US acquisition failures... there is not a strong strategy for the US and recently the culture has moved a bit to become a "good ol' boys club." I would not recommend."

      "Women leaders are becoming more visible within Henkel, maybe not so much on the executive leadership teams but definitely middle management. There are many opportunities for growth within Henkel if you look for them and promote yourself. I see more growth opportunities for younger women within the global organization. "

      "I worked for a number of other top-notch organizations before coming to Henkel. What I tell everyone is, “I would rather have a bad day here than a good day anywhere else.” Henkel has always taken good care of me and my teams, introduced me to some of the finest people I’ve ever known, helped me develop my skills, and they’re simply an incredible place to work and build a career."

      "Henkel is an amazing organization that truly values it's employees. They do a great job to make sure that the benefits are both at the highest quality and realized by the employees. The culture is super collaborative and fun to be a part of. Some things can be challenging at times, specifically navigating a huge company like Henkel, but this is not unlike any other company of this size. What I love about Henkel is it really is a large company, with a small company feel. The people that I have worked with over the years have become some of my best friends and key players in my own personal support network. The opportunities that Henkel provides are huge, it's up to you to craft your path!"

      "Henkel is company with a long history. Especially in Europe, company is well known for their family ownership and culture. In the U.S. a lot has changed over the past 5 years in a positive way. More and more senior leaders are women, there is more flexibility in terms of work-life balance and even offices have been upgraded to support working moms. I think Henkel is doing great in terms of create flexible working environment and support women in their careers. Open communication with the supervisor is the most important in this case."

      "It all depends on your department. Marketing, sales, finance, and R&D actually do work and are expected to go above and beyond. There’s lots of internal, busy work and paper pushing. No matter your level you will be Henkel focused more than external focused, which is not the best way to run a consumer business. Henkel likes to cut corners and cost save. Everything they do is to save a penny. This ultimately means you will do more work with fewer people, and it’s not stimulating work. People don’t stay for long. Yes there’s a handful of people who have been at the company for 5+ years but there is a lot of turnover after 2-3 years. You will absolutely not be supported as a parent. Only after years of employee complaints did Henkel finally adopt a parental leave policy. In true Henkel fashion they created a policy that is worse than all its peer companies and so far behind the benefits Germany receives. A company worth billions can’t be bothered to give its employees (who create that value and perform mindless work to save pennies) decent benefits. "

      "For years Henkel has said it’s a flexible work environment, but when you ask to take advantage of the flexible work arrangements you’ll be denied. Pre-pandemic I was told I could WFH 2 days a week only to be told no when I officially asked. Upper management was upset so many people WFH on Fridays even though it was touted as a benefit. There’s talk about more flexibility when the pandemic ends, but there won’t be. It will go back to one day a week begrudgingly. The only people I’ve seen who get to enjoy such benefits are HR, and they’re not the ones keeping the lights on. Would be nice to give the real workers benefits."

      "I had one manager who was amazing and I would work with that manager on whatever the task and team. I had several other managers who were okay. I had two managers who were in over their heads and clearly not interested in doing work. The problem was the two checked out managers. There was nothing to do but wait until I changed roles or they left. You would think a manager not showing up for work and missing big meetings would be noticed, but that wasn’t the case!"

      "Henkel is a great place to work with wonderful benefits for women . Paid parental leave is a big new benefit for 2021 that I am really excited about. Depending on the area you are in, you can also enjoy scheduling flexibility. Henkel has many female leaders who are wonderful mentors. There is no pay inequity, that I have seen, either. Henkel encourages everyone to push themselves to the limit...and then some!"

      "I have been a Henkel employee for eight years and I started here as an intern. I stayed post internship because I truly enjoyed the people I worked with. The HR people, the managers, the employees are all good people who want enjoy working together and want to do the best they can for Henkel. I have had the great opportunity to "grow up" at Henkel and I am currently a new mom. I am constantly impressed with how Henkel has supported me through my pregnancy, my leave and my return. New benefits have been introduced (increased paid parental leave, increased IVF benefits, etc) and I am very grateful that I am a part of a company that can support me and my career aspirations but also support me as a parent.

      "I started at Henkel as an intern and 11 years later still with the company however now in a different country. I found Henkel US to be an inclusive environment where I had a lot of support throughout my career. I felt that I was given opportunities to develop myself via trainings/mentoring, as well as develop within my career. On top of being able to develop myself, I found the atmosphere to be fun. I had a lot of great colleagues that made work enjoyable. One improvement area would be to limit the number of expats coming into the US in top management positions and allow the local teams to grow and take these positions over. I think there is already a lot of improvement in this area, but still some ways to go."

      "I work in an area in which men are rather under represented so I cannot really speak about any obstacles I would have had as a woman. In general and as for probably most companies, there could be more women at leadership levels. Henkel is very open to this, with a culture though that encourages entrepreneurship, speaking up and raising your voice for ideas, next steps and requires a lot of initiative. I have seen more men taking the initiative, to "do a great job and talk about it" and self-promote. This would be my advise for women at Henkel: be proactive!"

      "Overall, Henkel is an employer with good work/life balance, average paid parental leave, and nice employees. However, salary is below average and little to no women hold executive roles. Even at lower levels, women in management positions seem much more qualified than their male counterparts. "

      "The people in the company are fabulous but there are major reorganizations on an extremely regular basis. Women often seem to lose out in the new structures, and then they try after the fact to improve it. Seems like more focus on this during the reorganization planning could help. "

      "There's a women leadership group that is worth joining. There are a few females in truly powerful positions, but not enough."

      "Things move slowly. It is a bit confusing to figure out all the politics and how things work in terms of International and US work structures. Leadership seems to be constantly promoting 'move fast' work like an entrepreneur, however decisions are handled very old fashioned and lots of levels to go through before anything can be done. "
