Dear colleague, Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear that you find DHL a good place to work. We understand that the return-to-office policy has been challenging for many, especially given the high cost of living and travel in Prague. The decision was made to foster transparency and collaboration, but we recognize its impact on our employees. We are actively reviewing this policy to find a better balance that supports both our business goals and the well-being of our team. Your input is valuable, and we are committed to making the necessary adjustments. Thank you for your hard work and dedication as a Senior Software Engineer. We appreciate your patience and will keep you updated on any changes. Your DHL Team

Dear colleague, Thank you for sharing your review and for highlighting the positives you experienced, such as our hybrid work model and work-life balance. We're glad that these aspects of our company have met your expectations. We are, however, concerned about the issues you mentioned under cons, including bias, low increments, and office politics. We take such feedback very seriously, as it helps us understand where we need to focus our improvement efforts. We strive to create a fair and inclusive workplace, and it is disheartening to read that you have experienced bias and politics. We recommend that you discuss with your HR colleagues the topics you believe can be optimized to contribute to a better working environment. Topics must be discussed before optimization can begin. Thank you for your ongoing efforts and dedication to us. Best wishes, Your DHL Team
