Pros

IT Services is generally a great place to work, multicultural and diverse. Lots of focus on Active Leadership and development of employees to a level. Lots of opportunities to move internally within the DHL Group. Still voted Number 1 employer in Czech Republic.

Cons

Some middle management and leadership qualities need improving, HR department works well but could do more to improve Career advice and movements within the group. Salary growth within the company is too restrictive compared to the local markets.

Pros

It is a good entrance to the world of corporate IT. Relatively easy to get an entry level job there even without IT degree (English is a must, German recommended) Process oriented company. Good oportunity to meet people from various cultures (there are people of 60 nationalities in the building) Somehow average benefits: 6 sick days, meal vouchers (fully paid by the company but only 70 Kc), cellphone, laptop

Cons

The company is too big and not flexible. It usually takes from weeks to months to change/improve even a little thing. Processes are nice in theory but it is difficult to find them. Many people uses them as an excuse not to do a job. Processes also "derail" quite often and it can be quite tricky to get back on track. Unclear responsibilities. Poor documentation. Dated office equipment (17" desktop LCDs still in use)

Pros

Interesting, friendly co-workers trying to earn a living; semi flexible hours and schedules; at least you have a job?

Cons

Prepare to be berated for poor performance and earn minimum pay while management does nothing to improve performance because that requires paperwork... Everyone deserves better than what this company has to offer.
