On the one hand, we would like to thank you for being a part of Henkel for more than 8 years. This loyalty is something extraordinary that we value very much. On the other hand, we would like to thank you for the review of your experience as a Senior Marketing Manager in Düsseldorf. We want all of our employees to be able to craft their careers and therefore offer them the opportunity to gain important experience in various departments and business units. Thanks to the internationality of our company, this is even possible in many different countries as well. It is nice to hear that you have already been able to build up an extensive network in this process. Nevertheless, you do not seem to be satisfied with your career prospects, which is why we would like to find a solution together with you. Therefore, we would be pleased if you approach our HR department to contribute to a development for you and the company as a whole. Best regards, Your Henkel Team

Pros

The job is not too difficult. You mainly work on your own, Pay and benefits are outstanding.

Cons

12 hour shifts. Only one tech per shift so vacations can be a bit dicey. Support from peers is low and there is a lot of back biting in the lab. Sometimes they seem to be lookng for a scapegoat.
