A commendable employer, but undergoing notable changes - Customer Facing Role and Project Management Henkel Employee Review

The salary offered is slightly below the industry average. In my research, I found that colleagues with similar experience and roles typically earn 10-20% more than what I was offered at Henkel. For external hires, this knowledge can serve as valuable leverage during negotiations. It's essential to understand your management circle level, ranging from MC0a (Executives) to MC4b (with smaller numbers indicating higher ranks). Management positions ideally should be at level 2b; accepting level 3a could hinder your future advancement significantly. In due time, it becomes apparent whether the company is invested in your growth and advancement. If not, you may find yourself in a position where your current value is prioritized over your potential future contributions. Despite being a global company, Henkel's structure often results in roles that operate within a microclimate rather than leading to global opportunities. Unless you enter the company with a global responsibility, interactions with other business groups may be limited, and travel to other sites may not be common unless you're being groomed as a future leader.
