Pros
It is all about the work and effort you put into and how hard you try.. GDS is not an environment where you can lean back and hope for the best- you have to be a go getter! A hunter! You must have consistency and persistence and these will be your determining factors of success.
The office environment is supportive and if you ask for help, you will always receive it. Your boss will always guide you to success. What you expect from them, is exactly what they expect from you - dedication. So if you have a great work ethic, this is a great environment for you.
You will also build relationships with C level execs and entrepreneurs. This is a great opportunity to learn from the professionals in the industry.
Cons
Have every employee see the event and how it all works. This changes their perspective and understanding of the business model.
