Pros

They have a relatively good benefits package. Receiving the benefits is another issue.

Cons

Very reactive company-waits for the market to make a move and sees how it pans out before taking any sort of stance much less action. Systems are archaic and takes forever to have any sort of enhancement implemented. If the enhancement is area specific just forget it, it will never get done and your systems ticket will be cancelled. The only reason I gave them a one is because 0 and negative numbers are not a viable rating with this program. Senior Management team used to be good but has gotten worse over the years. If you do not mind working 24/7 and being told that you cannot take vacation, go for it. However if there is ever another instance where the US market is suffering don’t be surprised that one of their first solutions is to ask the employees to take a pay cut. If you are masochistic, this is an excellent place to work, otherwise do yourself a favor and look somewhere else-anywhere else. Stay far away from Hapag Lloyd.

Great work life balance and benefits program.

Cons

A little too KPI driven. Taken away from family and their motto "We Care"

Pros

Good internship program, talks from different teams ensure that you become familiar with the shipping industry and how the company works. The people there are great. They love working there. Interns have scheduled meetings with senior leadership. Senior leadership is super easy to talk to and comfortable to be around.

Cons

It depends on the team, but some interns did not have a project/assignment ready for them to work on at the start.
