We are incredibly proud of our high performance culture and are thrilled to hear that you enjoy working with a great team and supportive colleagues. We have just rolled out a new Hybrid work pattern which takes effect upon completion of RAMP period.

Pros

Good pay, competitive, fun people

Cons

They need to lower the price if they ever want to regain what they lost over the past year. It shows in the repeat business. GDS has become just another events company to most. The reputation has been destroyed.
