GDS Group Response

Thank you very much for your message, I'm sorry to hear you have not enjoyed the past 4 years of your time at GDS. While its encouraging to know we have a diverse workforce, its sad you were unable to make the most of the career progression pathways on offer. We have implemented a Sales Excellence programme for aspiring DSE's to learn about commercial sales, value selling and much more. Once completed, you are equipped to move into the Sponsorship sales team. Its a shame you were unable to make the most of this opportunity and if you'd like to discuss this further I would encourage you to reach out to HR@gdsgroup.com.
