Pros

I have worked at GDS for over 6 years across the spectrum of countries and products. During that time I am pleased to say that I have seen a very high level of value delivered to customers. For any organization that is operating in a complex sales environment, participating in industry events is axiomatic. Where GDS excels and differentiates is in it's ability to deliver the highest level of attendees, superior sales intelligence and quality environments for conversation. Client ROI can be >500% and as a result GDS counts many of the world's leading enterprise software companies as long term customers. The opportunity for employees is exceptional. Strong incentive plans, coupled with extensive career progression opportunities and international expansion make GDS an attractive destination for ambitious, intelligent talent. My outlook for the company is positive. Highly recommended.

Cons

GDS is an entrepreneurial, dynamic, fast paced company enjoying rapid profitable revenue growth. As would be expected there are some growing pains in terms of ensuring that the processes, applications and technology, keep pace with the organization.
