Pros

Strong on customer service - most managers have to go through "first choice" training. Good internal job website for onward progression worldwide. Strong on diversity in global head office (don't know whether this is the case in the countries) - we have people from around the world, whilst women have the opportunity to reach the very top - we have quite a few female CxO's. Strong expat social scene in Bonn due to the high amount of DHL expats + T Mobile + UN + Deutsche Telekom + University + Deutsche Welle + the international schools.

Cons

Worklife balance is poor - 50 hrs at my desk is quite good and people in other divisions say the same. I think that's because we're global head office, so take that with a pinch of salt. With the exception of some Asian countries, payrises over 10% are exceptionally difficult to get.

Pros

Benefits: A number of benefits. Generous car policy. Good bonus payments each year. Very good offices, very well equipped. Home office possible depending on your boss.

Cons

Career Development: Works in the business units. For Corporate Center somewhat more difficult. Move to executive or Head of... position very difficult. A lot of networking required. A lot of external hires blocking the way up. Work-life balance: A lot of work, but doable. Once in the company, the salary is not adjusted except for 1 to 3% pa depending on performance.
