Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review here on Glassdoor - we sincerely appreciate it. We are working hard to be an Employer of Choice and a Great Place to Work and reviews like yours fuel our motivation to continue down this path. We are sorry to hear that your experience of the work-life balance was not entirely positive. Here at DHL we are fully aware how instrumental a good work-life balance is for employee satisfaction, and we are continuously finding ways to improve upon that. Of course, there will always be moments where we will need "all hands on deck" to pull through a seasonal peak, but this should be exceotions rather than the norm. Thank you for all your hard work and effort while working for us as an Accountant in Sydney.
