Pros

Having worked for GDS for over a decade, can honestly say, I love it. Whats not to love, great product, amazing people, great opportunities, ongoing training & support. I've travelled all over the world and worked in our offices in Sydney, Bangalore, New York, Bristol and Miami and have loved every minute of it!

Cons

You have to work hard, simple. If your not willing to put the effort in you can't expect to succeed. Its a Sales floor environment, which isn't for everyone

Pros

I've worked at GDS for about five and a half years. It has been a great experience for both myself and my family. It is a challenging, fast paced, energetic environment, working with people I not only consider my colleagues but my friends as well. We work hard and we play hard!

Cons

It's not for everyone. Expectations are high, performance is a must. There is a lot of turnover.
