Pros

the coworkers modern office downtown location the snacks

Cons

Probably the most disengaged top leadership I've run across. President hardly ever present. Not realistic about how many people or resources are needed to meet the uninformed promises made to the customers. I inherited employees that were paid below their job grades but the company doesnt care enough to make it right. They'll keep underpaying but their not going to ask any less of those employees.) And HR is a larger department than they ever were but somehow have even less time and show even less interest in the employees. Could be for the best since the new ones act like they have no experience or time. HR person didn't even ask me about an exit interview or talk about what happens on my last day. I might be lucky enough to get a canned response on here with his regrets and ask me to connect now. You gotta care before its to late.

Ahold Delhaize Response

Posted on behalf of Keith Nicks, Digital and eCommerce Officer: Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. PDL has gone through a lot of change and growth in the last six months and we’re sorry that you had a negative experience. Building a modern technology company and delivering services at the same time is like replacing the engine on an airplane that’s already in flight – it’s challenging, a little unpredictable and bumpy at times. But, it’s also how you disrupt, innovate, and advance a company to make an impact. We recognize that we aren’t perfect but hope that our current employees will understand that we’re learning, growing, and correcting mistakes as we become aware of them, and we’re optimistic that things will continue to improve moving forward. I’m sorry to hear your feelings about HR, compensation and exit interviews. We do conduct exit interviews but if we have had multiple conversations with an employee and know that they are not happy and looking to exit, we don’t always take the time to have a “formal” exit interview. If there’s specific feedback you’d like to give as part of your exit, you’re welcome to set time up with me, the head of eCommerce for PDL, your people leader, or your HR representative. Again, thank you for taking the time to give feedback. - Keith Nicks, Digital & eCommerce Officer

Pros

Most of the individuals you work with will be wonderful. The office is still hybrib, so there is some flexibility. They usually pay at or above market and have a great annual bonus.

Cons

I specifically work under the USA branch of the company. The corporate life has become increasingly political. It has become more important to be seen rather than to perform the work. Upper management also has unrealistic goals and just demands that it gets done even if it is impossible. Management is also terrible with communicating what they actually want, and they are terrible listeners at the same time. Yet, somehow they are so proud of themselves. I have also been told to "Just stop talking" by management which is increadibly innapropriate for the workplace.
