Pros

*you can learn a lot and have time for yourself and personal development *company adopting lot of latest technologies (even it is quite complicated, due to lack of top talented people to implement them) *the latest OS and HW on servers *data-center is directly in Chodov office, so you can get hands-on experience *lot of skilled and smart colleagues *impossible to get fired (well, this may be in cons section for somebody)

Cons

* due to grade system doesn't matter so much, on which technical level you are (in fact 1st level team members may earn more due to overnight work/public holiday) than last level technical team members *very unclear career path (due to limited amount of high level grades per team) - you can't stay in current team in order to be promoted (get grade raise) *median strategy for salaries (therefore is super hard to attract top talent from various fields, lot of skilled/suitable candidates are refused due to high salary expectations) *rigid management (majority of senior management is in company for 12-15 years at least) *rigid hardware / software for employees (hp budget laptops with screen resolution 1366x768 running windows with GPO, where you can't even change background or run youtube video - in 2018) *lot of non-technical people (various wannabe management positions still growing) compare to amount of hard-core engineering IT staff (which remains +- same and suffer to hire anybody new) *few departments somehow disconnected from reality (especially HR living in their own small bubble)

Pros

I have a lot of good things to say about DHL. The company really cares about their talent. Benefits are good. The pay is good.

Cons

Only bad thing is the micromanaging of some supervisors.
