Pros

1. Decent pay but the pay structure is still 2021 2. Team at Bonn/Berlin is supportive

Cons

You get thrown around even working faithfully for a team. Restructuring happen at the cost. No value for human workers who gave their time and effort for the team. No say in decision making. ITS chennai management culture is worse than berlin. Following the other rat race of attendance tracking in office. Low quality work ! Do you really think 8 years of experience person will do a analyst job? You will asked to come to office suddenly while your contract might say it is remote or can be remote.

Dear colleague, Thanks very much for sharing your feedback with us through this review. We are pleased you had a supportive team at the Bonn/Berlin location. A supportive and collaborative team environment is crucial for a positive work experience. We are also glad you find the pay decent, although you mentioned that the pay structure is still based on 2021 standards. We continuously review and update our compensation policies to ensure they remain competitive and aligned with industry standards. We apologize for any challenges you faced regarding restructuring and feeling undervalued as an employee. Restructuring can sometimes be necessary for business reasons, but we need to ensure that it is carried out in a way that respects and values the contributions of our employees. We understand the importance of employee involvement and empowerment in decision-making, and we are actively working to improve our processes to ensure that employees have a voice and are included in important decisions. Regarding work arrangements, we strive to provide clear communication and transparency around remote work options. We apologize if there were any inconsistencies in this regard. We recommend that you discuss with your HR colleagues the topics you believe can be optimized to contribute to a better working environment and well-being. With direct, open, and honest communication, we can make sustainable changes. Nevertheless, thank you for all your hard work and effort so far. You make a difference by connecting people and improving lives! Best regards, Your DHL Team

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback about your experience at our Orlando site. We’re glad to read that you valued the salary, the 4x10 shift structure, and especially the relationships with your peers. At the same time, we regret the challenges you described related to senior management behavior, HR involvement, and consistency in people practices. A respectful, professional work environment where policies are applied fairly and leaders act with accountability is fundamental to our culture, and it’s clear there are areas where continued improvement is needed. To clarify, participation in company supported charitable or donation initiatives is strictly voluntary. Employees are not expected or required to contribute, and any perception of pressure is not aligned with our policies or expectations. If these initiatives were experienced differently, we would take that feedback seriously and see it as an opportunity to reflect on how our communications and practices are perceived. While we are sorry to learn that the overall culture did not meet your expectations, we appreciate you clearly outlining your concerns. Feedback like this plays an important role in ongoing reflection and improvement. Thank you for the contributions you made during your time with DHL. We wish you all the best moving forward. Best regards, Your DHL Team
