“Thoroughly Enjoyable Experience.” I worked at GDS in 2012 and had roles in the product, delegate and summit teams.
Pros
In my experience staff morale was high, there was a good working atmosphere, supportive managers and each day seemed to bring new challenges. Had little involvement with the sales floor but when I did I found that to be a positive and vibrant (if often rather loud) environment where people seemed to thrive. I also met plenty of friends, many of whom are still at the company and doing well. Having left with some regret due to relocation I would recommend it to others and actually did so for a friend who enjoyed a 18 months on the summit sales team before returning to full-time study (with a healthy nest egg).
Cons
The sales floor wasn't for me but I would encourage anyone with or wanting to gain the correct skills set to give it a go as it certainly appeared to be very lucrative for many.
