Dear colleague, We appreciate your honest and balanced feedback - thank you! As a company, DPDHL highly values all of its employees, no matter the level in the organization, because we are all integral to making the big yellow machine operate as smoothly as possible. For that reason we also appreciate you emphasizing a flexible schedule and good compensation packages. On the other hand, we are sorry to hear that you are feeling that your local branch in Tuttlingen suffers from "bad managers". We are constantly improving our managerial structure and most importantly, we are always open for constructive criticism and improvement suggestions. We would advise you to make an appointment with your senior management or you HR department, and there you could voice all your concerns. Our colleagues will definitely have an open ear for you and try to find a mutually beneficial solution as quickly as possible. Thank you for all your hard work and being part of our Big Yellow Family! All the best to you and your colleagues in Tuttlingen, Your Employer Branding Team

Pros

Positive spirit of DHL people throughout the company, 570.000 colleagues feel like "one family". A lot of people-focused initiatives that are taken seriously, e.g., Diversity, Leadership programs, Trainings, Openness, Transparency. Core Values: Respect & Results.

Cons

A large Corporation with 570.000 people means you will meet many people during your career. For those who are scared of meeting new colleagues, this might be a challenge, for those who see new contacts as opportunities for developing oneself, it is a benefit.

Dear colleague, From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for leaving us a comprehensive and positive 5-star review! We are very happy to read that you are fully immersed into our unique culture and see all the benefits it provides. Indeed, as you have mentioned, DHL is a people-centric company, both in regards to its customers and its employees. We take great pride in this especially because of how many lives we touch on a daily basis. In regards to your advice to the management, we believe that you are 100% spot on. Some changes take more time to see and although the frustration is understandable, as a collective we just need to hang in there. Please note that you are more than welcome to bring this directly to your senior management on site, with any other improvement suggestion or advice - we firmly believe that they will be pleased to hear you out and see what can be done. All in all, thank you for being part of our Big Yellow Family and all your hard work! All the best to you and your team in Bonn, Your Employer Branding Team
