Pros

Calm place. No rush, no hurry. Annual bonus, better than nothing, because at other companies you can get the same amount every month. Visa support for foreigners is a biggest plus.

Cons

Low salary. With 15 years of experience I'm payed here like junior and have to maintain applications written 20 years ago, while local "professionals" write code that makes the hair on your head stand on end, Only full remote was the last thing keeping me at this company, but now, after being pushed into "hybrid mode", without any compensation, I see no point to continue my work here.

Dear colleague, We sincerely appreciate your candid feedback about your experience as a DevOps Engineer with us. We're concerned about your dissatisfaction with your current role and compensation. It's disheartening to learn that you feel undervalued given your extensive experience. We understand your frustration with maintaining legacy applications and the challenges of collaborating with colleagues whose work doesn't meet your standards. The shift to hybrid work without compensation has impacted your job satisfaction. We pay a competitive salary, so we encourage you to discuss your concerns with your manager – hopefully, they can help address these issues. Your contributions have been valuable, and we hope you find a new position internally that better aligns with your skills and expectations to DHL Group. We wish you the best and hopefully we can create positive memories. Best regards, Your DHL Team

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.

Only bad thing is the micromanaging of some supervisors.
