If you’re choosing between GDS and another offer, take the other offer. If you do join, prioritise yourself because the company won’t. Take every professional opportunity to grow personally. Don’t get emotionally invested as your role could be pulled or terminated at any moment. Recognise and document your own wins, hold on to your values and self-worth, and remember you deserve better in your next career step.
At its core, this business exists for the top five men in leadership to maintain jobs, income, and a sense of accomplishment – not to build a meaningful company or take care of its employees.
Very hard to make an impact: the company is resistant to positive change and unwilling to adapt.
Senior leadership makes all decisions without involving or trusting the people they hire.
Archaic working culture: five days in the office, scheduled break times, and if you’re not at your desk it’s reported to your manager.
Zero autonomy or sense of responsibility – projects can be pulled or changed at any moment, and people are frequently fired without warning, meaning what you’re working on can change overnight.
I personally experienced patriarchal beliefs and anti-trans dialogue in the office.
No benefits, no policies, and no genuine care for employees.
Business model is focused entirely on closing quick deals, with no strategic thinking about long-term growth, product development, customer experience, or sales performance.
