      Really bad management: Nepotism, favouritism and firing

      Dse role
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Made some good friends but they all hated this place

      Cons

      Worked there for seven months, it was the worst ever job. Once I was out through those doors I realized why my work-life was a nightmare for some good months. Someone gets pleasure for firing people, you will never see anything like this. Nepotism and favouritism at its peak, if you're friends with the right people you get away with anything. Forty people witnessed someone getting away with stuff and nothing happened. Having the right friends, in the right place pays off. Upper management too bad to go into details, they have no idea what they do. I can imagine that this review will get a response like: ''Thank you for sharing your review. We're truly sorry to hear that your experience at GDS did not meet your expectations. Feedback like this is difficult to read, however it helps us learn and continue working towards building a better environment for all employees.'' NOBODY CARES! This is just that they look good online. When I was there, no one came to ask me about any of the issues that are mentioned in all the negative reviews.

      We hear you and we recognize that a standard 'thank you for your feedback' feels dismissive given how you feel about your seven months here. It’s clear that from your perspective, there is a disconnect between what we say online and the day-to-day reality you experienced. Regarding your point about issues not being addressed internally: we acknowledge that if employees don’t feel safe or heard while they are still behind our doors, the system isn't working as it should. We are currently looking at how we handle internal grievances to ensure that 'who you know' doesn't outweigh 'what you do.' While we may not have seen eye-to-eye during your time here, we genuinely value this level of bluntness. It highlights exactly where our blind spots are. We wish you a much better experience in your next role.

      Avoid at all costs

      Customer success manager (csm)
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great people work here- but not for long

      Cons

      Toxic is an understatement. You have a head of csms who has lost 60% of her staff due to them leaving because of her incompetency The buisness doesn’t know what direction it’s going in- and it changes its mind every day. From elite new acquisition teams to firing the highest performers. Sexism runs deep here- ask anyone about the Christmas parties and you’ll have an understanding Kosovo office is fired every few months and Bristol and ny lose 1/4 of staff every 6 months
