Hello, Thank you very much for your 4-star rating. It shows us that you experienced working with Deutsche Post DHL as positive. This is great. We are sorry that the new management members were not yet fully integrated in the job function to avoid micro management as you have experienced. But, please give them a chance, we are sure they are more than interested in doing their best to support their team. And, sometimes good things take time to become better. We wish you lots of success in your future projects. Best regards, Your Employer Branding Team
