Pros

Good pay for performance and fast tracks (pre-domestic departure). Nice international opportunities for people who desire work abroad. Strength in other divisions.

Cons

Very poor perception of service quality in the United States. The go-to-market strategies were all wrong and executed by leadership unfamiliar with US competition.

How to destroy a fine company

Pros

Still a strong brand name on your CV In the past: great learning opportunities and professional challenges In the past: good career development In the past: innovation, ambition, forward-looking Pride: colleagues are still proud and willing to help & support each other, also in difficult times Historically well advanced in terms of process definition and strategic review

Cons

Current senior management: capabilities and style How can anyone let an accountant run a company this size, especially in the service industry? Lack of fairness and respect, especially with regards to employees Lack of clarity and honest communication Favouritsm & nepotism Politics, back-stabbing, bureaucracy Micro management: does a CEO really need to approve the replacement of a broken phone? Lack of innovation and investments in tools, people, ideas and service quality Lack of cross country and cross functional collaboration and alignment Unreasonable demands and expectations without providing bigger picture or long term view Senior management disconnected from real life and real customers Questionable fit with Deutsche Post "german" mentality and understanding of the International Express market

Pros

Great people to work with, forged some good friendships with people and developed valuable skills. Learned I had a really good read on when companies are sinking ships.

Cons

Senior Management thought they knew everything, and everything they tried to accomplish was met with failure because they never had the heart to see things through. Things just went from one flavor to the next. There was no drive or determination to build the company.
