Pros

They paid us really well, gave us free cell phones and great bonuses. It was neat to work on projects with people all over the world.

Cons

They ended up laying off 80% of the Scottsdale IT Data Centre staff over a six month period when the company decided to pull out of the US Express (US to US location delivery) market, bowing out to UPS and Fedex. I can't imagine DHL Express Americas exists today in anywhere close to the presence they used to have.
