      Terrible Environment

      Bde - business development executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Decent Product and you come across some good people.

      Cons

      The company maintains a high-pressure sales environment with little strategic direction or long-term vision from management. Leadership places an excessive emphasis on call volume rather than meaningful customer engagement, prioritizing short-term results over sustainable growth. Business Development Executives receive minimal support and resources, making success difficult to achieve. The culture encourages overly aggressive sales tactics that risk damaging the brand’s credibility. Success appears limited to long-tenured employees, while high turnover remains a persistent problem. Senior leadership, including the CEO, is known for micromanagement and relying on surface-level motivational talk instead of providing genuine leadership or fostering a supportive environment. Morale across the team is generally low due to unrealistic weekly KPIs and a lack of job security. The culture also feels exclusionary, favoring a small inner circle rather than recognizing performance or potential fairly.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We understand your concerns regarding tagret pressure and KPIs. Unfortunately this is synonymous with new business sales and not unique to GDS Group. We constantly review our goal-setting processes, pipeline expectations and internal training to ensure eveyone is set up for success. If outbound sales and pipeline drive our not your thing, perhaps you should consider a position outside of sales. Thank you again for your time and feedback, it really does help us improve.

      Company is Lost in Direction

      Enterprise account executive
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      There are great people who work there. It is a very boiler room feel in the sales office which forces people to bond.

      Cons

      Boiler room atmosphere with very little sales to back that up. My entire hiring class was fired before 6 months in the role. Its not a bad job to have in the meantime while you look for another one. Turnover is not weird there, random days they will just fire a handful of people. I had two colleagues one there for 17 years another for 11, both were fired without notice. They switched CEO's 2 times along with our entire product offering, but upper management said it was on the team for not putting the work in. There is a very weird hierarchy at this company where basically two people at the top hold all the power, and even the VP's have zero authority.
