Vantaggi

I have had the pleasure of working with GDS International now for 1 year and 2 months. Reading through some the reviews there are many negative things that are said that I do not believe to be true. Though this job is not for everyone the nature of job is a stepping stone to be successful no matter what you do. Depending on your role, its primarily SALES and in this role we are expected to produce. I've been on the chopping block within this organization and have used that as a factor to make me do better. The training is great, the real world experience is second to none it is "The best business school I've never paid for" with tremendous support from all of my colleagues it is an office that lifts each other up as it has for me when I couldn't do it any more. Sure there is turnover unfortunately some were let go and others couldn't handle the reality that the phone didn't dial themselves so they quit, and sure there are things that I don't like but its not unique to GDS International but with every job I've had. If there was better product offering out there I'd be working there and not here, having attended some of our summits they have a product that is truly what they say it is, however it is up to the employees to make the projects we work on flourish. For any of those who read I recommend you follow what your heart tells you and no others - just a word of advice

Svantaggi

As with any job there are things that we dislike with our current employers here is what I say. I'd like to close my own deals instead of priming them up for a Senior Salesperson, Refrigerator is never cleaned I swear some the food there has been than longer than I, I appreciate if other employees would respect existing client relationships, no email/templates on CRM/Outlook, commission brackets Bronze,Silver,Gold I rather get paid a flat commission instead of having to qualify for a higher bracket. Mild micro management.

Vantaggi

Met a few good people here, but none of them lasted. Everyone eventually quit or got pushed out.

Svantaggi

This company is a perfect example of how to burn out employees, squander talent, and mismanage a sales org. Team members are often overlooked, talked down to, and treated more like call-center output than actual professionals. My manager consistently interacted with me and others in ways that were discouraging and demoralizing, and it was clear there was little interest in coaching or developing people. The culture feels more like a clique-driven high school environment than a workplace. Turnover is nonstop, and the atmosphere noticeably changes whenever senior leadership is around. KPIs are unrealistic, and the product is genuinely tough to sell in the current market. Hitting quota is rare, many reps only close a couple of small deals the entire year, and the commission structure doesn’t make it any easier. You’re closely monitored from the moment you log in, and by mid-morning you’re already being questioned about your activity. Late hours are common due to rigid activity requirements. Training is minimal, senior reps generally keep to themselves, and asking for help sometimes gets interpreted as not being capable rather than trying to improve. The day-to-day environment is loud, chaotic, and high stress. Headphones aren’t allowed. Standards are enforced unevenly. Some people are given a wide berth, while others are micromanaged over very small things. The culture leans heavily on pressure, constant urgency, and short-term reactions instead of any real long-term strategy or leadership approach. If you care about your mental health, professional development, or actually improving as a salesperson, I’d strongly recommend looking at other companies. Leaving this role was genuinely one of the best decisions I’ve made for my career.
