Pros

Decent pay but that’s about it

Cons

Lots of working hours and they will restructure the company every so often and sack you for no reason.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're glad to hear you felt the compensation was fair but we're truly sorry that the rest of your experience didn’t meet expectations. We understand that stability and work-life balance are critical parts of any role and it's concerning to hear you felt you did not receive that at GDS. Organizational changes should always be handled with transparency and respect. If your departure felt abrupt or without clear reasoning, we regret that and will take that feedback into account.
