Pros

Good atmosphere, unity work, friendly atmosphere

Cons

You get very good exposure of one company but couldn't get exposure of the whole industry. Your network in industry is very limited to one company.

Pros

I love the vibe in the office - it's quite a young environment which means that there's always great music playing and lots of fun individuals to meet. The company is amazingly innovative, which is really exciting because it means that there are always opportunities for growth and personal development, as well as options to get involved in new projects. Attending live events across the globe is a huge perk, usually hosted in 5* hotels and restaurants across the world! Really great fun!

Cons

There are currently no options to work from home, I would like to have the option to take 1 day a week at home

Pros

I started at GDS over 4 years ago and worked in multiple teams and departments and can honestly say I have enjoyed my time here more than any other place I've worked. The support from management and colleagues has been great and I've progressed more in my career than I thought I would have in this time. The people you get to work with and eventually become friends with are second to none and I have had the pleasure of learning from some of the best people. Even more, I've always felt my opinion/suggestions are valued and listened to. Just like anywhere, things might not always go the way its expected but what is different is that help is always around the corner if you ask for it. Also doesn't hurt that the location is great

Cons

The peak of events season is tough and there is a lot expected from you
