      Mostly a good place to work at, with some pitfalls.

      Pros

      Canada has good tuition reimbursement program. Depending on your superiors you may be able to have flex time and work from home. Some opportunities may be present internationally. When properly handled, there is satisfactory knowledge management and best practice sharing, which helps to do one's job. Depending on your supervisors, may be able to attend and learn from industry events/conferences. Salaries are usually kept within the industry standards. Efforts are made to retain the best employees.

      Cons

      Little interaction with other divisions of Henkel, thus no opportunity for cross-category experience. No official flex time policy (or summer hours). Office is very small and not a lot of movement is available within the same division in Canada. Sometimes there is lack of communication with the main office in the US, which lead to a feeling of isolation. Most of the decisions and important business related activities are handled in the US while HR is handled out of the "corporate" Canadian office (separate site), further contributing to confusion.

      Pros

      I am relatively new to Henkel. So far my experience has been more than great. First, I absolutely love its supportive collaborative culture. The team is fantastic - everyone works very hard for the common goal and always ready to lend a hand at anytime. There are also many opportunities for growth both locally and internationally and employees’ development is definitely an important focus for the leadership team. From the total organization perspective, the company has a strong vision and strategy that is set as a foundation for all local plans as well.

      Cons

      Most innovation comes from the US so there is not much local product development. It is a fast-paced environment with many projects/ priorities at the same time but no more than with an average CPG company.
