Pros & Cons
It's a large company with a lot of things always on the go. I like how there is a variety of work that is done that I'm able to get exposed to as a graduate. I also like how there are many well-established processes and guidelines that help guide the company and its employees. The majority of staff are friendly and approachable.
Everyone is friendly and kind; they are also willing to teach you and help you whenever you ask for it. It is a good work environment with a good work-life balance.
I enjoy working at DHL as there is a positive culture and there are always areas where I can develop and improve within my career.
The people are all friendly and competent.
Good workplace environment, dynamic industry
WIFI issues at some sites—connectivity could be better.
At times, it seems as though internal communication between functions and sites could be better.
It takes time for things to be approved or solved, such as getting access to systems or asking people to follow up with things
It is very easy to get lost in the masses of how many people there are.

Career Prospects
There are opportunities to move internally within the company where you can be promoted to a higher position or even move to a position where you feel more comfortable or more skilled. If you show the passion to learn and the willingness to improve you might find yourself being able to move up the ranks.
We helped out with tree planting as well as other initiatives like mental health. I also helped out by volunteering at a food drive and helping pack boxes of food for people that needed it.
DHL has a great work culture; the team gets along well at work and also outside of work. Teamwork is a must in logistics, and DHL has created a great teamwork culture.
I would say our company is diverse and has a range of people from different backgrounds and places. People here are promoted based on their achievements and how well they will fit the position
Management is overall very approachable and friendly. In my experience, they are also willing to help and are invested in both employees and the company's success. I have been provided with feedback and good communication during my time at DHL.
Clean, locationally inaccessible via public transport but that's not uncommon in this industry, dress code is generally loose, office spaces also contain necessary modern equipment.
It was good. I went through a selection process, then went into a video interview. After being selected from the video interview, I had an in-person interview with SMTs, where I got to display my skills and knowledge to them.
I work around 8 hours a day, and I am perfectly happy with working a little longer to resolve or finish some work. Sometimes I start work at 8:30 and sometimes at 9, work is flexible as long as I complete the tasks assigned to me.
We have good goals in place for a sustainable company, such as turning off lights when not in use, having solar panels and rain water collection, recycling and our goal to become carbon neutral.
