GDS - Interview & Onboarding

Delegate sales executive

Business Outlook

Pros

The interview process is very relaxed and simple. The interview was just more of a conversation type rather than being bombarded with tricky questions. Onboarding process was great with many fun activities and also a lot of knowledge to prepare you for the job. The culture is also great, everyone being a similar age. Fun incentives happen most weeks to try push everyone to get things done by the end of the week.

Cons

Overall the whole process didn't have many cons. Whilst training more work with using the software's could have been useful, apart form that everything was enjoyable with a good balance of practical work an leaning.
