Minpunten

GDS Group, formerly GDS International, is by far the largest scam of a company I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with. They not only lied about the earning potential I would have there, they lied about their business model, morals, and company structure. Promote from within? Good luck finding someone that's been there for more than one year. For every review you see that says boiler room, do not take it with a grain of salt - that is exactly what it is. The "product" you'd be selling is also a complete sham. For any executives/sponsors getting hit up by GDS to go to their summit, or "closed door think-tank" - save yourself the time.

Thank you for your feedback, we’re sorry your GDS experience did not meet your expectations. We are very proud of our products and have long standing clients that would recommend the value they offer, we would not have been constantly growing since 1993 if the product was not beneficial to our clients. We're consistently improving our training structure to ensure each and every employee feels supported, regardless of their experience. We have always focused on internal progression, with many of our managers having started in a junior position and working their way up.

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.
