Pros

No good reasons expect for free lunches and average benefits

Cons

Henkel is a German company. It is huge and may be other locations are great but not the madison heights MI. Initially I was very excited to see the career opportunities but it didn't lead me anywhere. Whoever is looking for visa and immigration related stuff, people please talk to the HR upfront before accepting job offer. Ask them to provide everything in writing. They ll say they will look into it and keep pushing and at the end gives you worst performance review. There are too many organizational changes too often, nobody knows who is working for who. Germany will make all the decisions. 70% are OLD PEOPLE with old school mentality and they don't encourage young people to explore and grow. Sales dept is the only driver who influences and make decisions. Engineers are lab technicians and they never hired more technicians. Super shorthanded. Hiring process is super slow. THE HR is WASTE, WORTHLESS. She sits in a different location and does NOTHINGGGGG...... Very disappointing.... Every project is rush and everything is urgent and at the last minute. Very crazy work environment with lack of planning.
