Pros

When i first started at GDS i thought the best thing would be the commission until they brought in a hair stylist to really make you feel fabulous on a Friday. I caught a glimpse of myself on a Friday after work and realised how ridiculously good looking I was. I left my wife and kids for my new profession of phone sales hair modelling. I really now have a zest for life.

Cons

- Sometimes the wind blows and knocks my perm out of line. - Terrible illegal business practices

Pros

I've been at GDS for over 5 years, so have a good perspective on what the company has offered me – namely, a very real platform to understand how to navigate the corporate space and appreciate it's digital challenges. I've had the opportunity of working with some of the IT/tech world's leading players, have learnt from every experience, and have a fantastic group of people around me.

Cons

It's a fast-paced office in a constantly transforming industry – staying agile and being open to ideas is a key (and exciting) part of the job.
