Pros

In my 30+ year career working at numerous Fortune 500 companies, I've never seen the depth and scale of team work that exists across DHL. People really go out of their way here to make each other successful and have an "I win when the team wins" type attitude. The leadership team really cares about the employees and that attitude comes through daily, via emails and the handling of the Covid-19 crisis.

Cons

Hiring is limited during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Dear colleague, Your words touch our Deutsche Post DHL heart. You exactly point out what we want to achieve. Team work, making a difference all together "as one". Our employees are willing to go the extra mile, this behavior leads to following by good example. Helping each other making each other great, together Deutsche Post DHL is strong. You are right, hiring new people during these challenging times is limited, therefore Deutsche Post DHL tries to keep people aboard if possible. It can happen that some entities are short of work and other have more occupation. Therefore it happens that employees from entities short of work are relocated to entities that need extra support. In this way we don't have to release people if not needed. We want to show our employees that we care about them also in difficult and uncertain times. We will overcome this and can get through this together Best wishes for you and your family and thanks again for your dedication. Best regards, Your Employer Branding Team

Hello, Thank you very much for your 4-star rating. It shows us that you experienced working with Deutsche Post DHL as positive. This is great. We are sorry that the new management members were not yet fully integrated in the job function to avoid micro management as you have experienced. But, please give them a chance, we are sure they are more than interested in doing their best to support their team. And, sometimes good things take time to become better. We wish you lots of success in your future projects. Best regards, Your Employer Branding Team
