Pros

I joined GDS with some trepidation, as I’d never worked in a corporate environment before, but after working here for some months I’ve found it to be a really friendly and down to earth workplace and have no regrets. It’s easy to talk to management if you have a problem and the admin team work really hard to make you feel a part of the company. As for the sales side, the enthusiasm of the office is catching and it’s not difficult to get caught up in the excitement when someone makes a deal. Great team-work and support is always around!

Cons

Sometimes difficult to concentrate amidst the buzz of pitching in an open plan office

Pros

I joined GDS 17 years ago and what excited me immediately when I joined, were the career progression opportunities, the training, remuneration and culture. After working in various offices around the world with like minded individuals, I can safely say I have enjoyed every single minute here

Cons

Not a role for everyone. If you willing to work hard and have an ambitious nature you can carve out a very quick career path for yourself and move quickly up the ladder
