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

Large enterprise environment with exposure to complex network infrastructure, major vendors, data centers, WAN, firewalls, and large-scale operational processes. There are good people on the team, and the environment itself can give you visibility into how a large company manages network services.

Cons

The Network Engineering role is not really hands-on network engineering. Much of the actual technical work, implementation, configuration, and deeper engineering execution is handled by HCL. Internally, the role can feel more like vendor coordination, ticket chasing, and driving HCL than actually owning and engineering the network yourself. If you are expecting to configure, troubleshoot deeply, build solutions, implement changes, and stay technically hands-on, this role may be disappointing. It can feel less like being a network engineer and more like being an HCL babysitter with a network engineering title
