GDS Group reviews

Opportunities for progression. Great people. Fun environment. Puts people first. I started with GDS just over a year ago as a Delegate Sales Executive (DSE). I had never worked in corporate sales before and took a 360 career spin when i took this role! I was scared to death! Not knowing what i was walking into! I spent 2 weeks being trained by the Chairman and Founder (Spencer Green) who took the time and effort to ensure we had everything we needed to be ready to get on the floor! After the 2 weeks, we were on the floor in our teams - we have training weekly to ensure we were happy and settled in our pods, the management team was really supportive and would do regular reviews to help with areas we struggled with. The atmosphere was amazing, positive and fun! I have never worked in a company that put so much in to ensuring their people are looked after and succeed, they have dedicated internal trainers and pay for an external company to come in and support! The DSE job isn't easy!!!! if you take anything from this review. Its that. Its hard work and can be strenuous, repetitive in areas. but if you put the effort in, ask for help if you require it, and keep going and don't drop your head the rewards and benefits are there! Christmas Raffle - Airpods, Ipads, Apple watches, Playstation5, Electric scooters all sorts! I was lucky to get a thankyou in my previous employers. Chairman's Club - Ski trips, Ibiza trips and much more! This company pays you to go to exercise classes during your working hours!!! This company gives so much, and the negative reviews are harsh, I've made international connections with people i never thought i would of spoken with, high level executives from company's such as google, dell and many others! After 9 months I was promoted into the recruitment team as a talent acquisition manager! I'm Given this opportunity to learn an area i have never worked in before and further my skills. They have given me everything i needed to become successful in this role and i love it! I'm Still here, I'm still enjoying every moment - this is my honest review.

GDS has been a great place to work over the past 15 months, I have gained many skills and created great relationships with both the GDS community and also many top C-Level executives from the fortune 100 organizations. The business has grown significantly, naturally meaning that there has been a great opportunity for promotions and room to grow. Through my career, there has been many amazing incentives such as trips to Chamonix, skiing in France and a recent trip to Oktoberfest in Munich!
