How is it that in todays soceity a company can recruit and train individuals with one purpose, to teach them to lie cheat and steal?
GDS International's founding principles are to just get the deal....stuff everything else! They teach trainees to get senior executives on the telephone, tell them a bunch of lies about key associations, content and importantly distribution etc and clost hard for the deal.
Project wise all of the magazines are barely distributed to the major show or circulation in which they claim. As an executive ask yourself this....how many shows have you seen GDS and their related projects at? How many of your clients recieve a copy of their magazines? Can they actually prove their circulation figures, not the data but actual distribution figures? How many of the actually promised executives turn up at the show itself?
How many employees have been abused and lived the life of a GDS'er? Do you still have that coke problem??
Thanks to various other blog platforms, people need a sounding board to limit this companies activities, executives around the world need to be wise to this companies activities, and if we can collate as many stories here as possible then we should certainly be able too.

ReplyDeletewell, thinking logically. Set up a blog account on google. Call it GDSInternationalScam or wprds tot that effect. Allow posts on the blog, google spiders pick it up and boom, more of the world knows.......whos going to do it?
I just email Rich Mogull through his Securosis Website and this was his response.
ReplyDelete''Hi Rich, Adrian & Chris,
I came across an article on your blog about a company, GDS Publishing (http://www.gdsinternational.com/), using foul-play. Your article stated this company was using your names to sell bogus advertising space in B2B publications, that aren't distributed.
I've recently have done business with this company, was just doing some research on them & have unearthed a major scandal.
Pls, see this site (where someone had linked your blog): http://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-212-920-8181/17
This is shameful & corrupt what is going on within this company.''
His Reponse:
''Thanks.
I don't think we really need to comment on the situation. This is long in the past for us, and we had to lock down that post after former GDS employees started using our site as a center for their dissatisfaction (which really isn't what we're here for)''
We need as many people as possible to get together and put the truth out there, hopefully the world will realise what is going on with this company.
Is anyone investigating here?
I'm so glad for this website, because more companies need to know about GDS and the lies they tell over the phone. The way they cheat people into doing a deal is so unethical. If you are being contacted by a GDS staff on the publishing side or events, please be smart enough to do your research before doing a deal with them.
ReplyDeleteYou're most likely be contacted by:
Rob Davis (VP of North America) he usually will do the callbacks for the person you spoke with originally.
Alex Sobol (SD) - same job responsibilities as Rob Davis
Dave Broffman - CIO summit manager
Jaime Martinelli - CFO and CIO healthcare manager
Tom McDonald - utilities summit manager (never graduated from college)
Melissa Sanichar - Delegate Manager
Drew - pharma manager (don't know his last name, sorry)
Anna Asby - sub manager for pharma (she's also on the GDS video pitching) www.gdsinternational.com
Oliver Smart - worldwide SD - he sounds like an idiot on the phone, "are you well?" that's his favorite line.
Damien Munro - GM - you will see him on sight at events trying to rebook companies. he comes off very friendly and trustworthy and it's all fake. nothing is real about this man. he is GDS's bitch when spencer is in town....sad!
Mike Deeigan - VP of HR...he quit then came back
Ben Riggle - FST summit manager
Harry - HR manager (don't know his last name, sorry)
Nate Grimshaw - Business Development
Spencer Green - Chairman/CEO
The people above are just people here in the US. More people in the UK as well. They are people you need to watch out for. If i'm forgetting anyone please add them on here so we can help companies avoid talking to these individuals.
Thank you!
gooooo job.....!!!!
Deleteyou forgot Bitch Stirk, sorry Richard Stirk, business development director, how can anyone as a non sales business development director earn 100k a year? its beyond me, another pawn in the game! Bristol hirachy as I understand it is
ReplyDeleteSpencer Green - Chairman & CEO Group
Oliver Smart - Worlwide Sales Director
kash Hassan - UK Sales Director (has numerous deedpoll name changes due to his dubious character)
Richard Stirk - Business Development Director

++ PLEASE CALL ++
ReplyDeleteCall the New York District Attorneys Office at 212-335-8900 the case number to complain is 22287. They are launching a investigation into GDS International. You have to give your name and number, but it stays completely anonymous. I believe they also operate out of the UK as well as here in New York.
That number again: 212-335-8900 and the case number to complain is 22287
does anyone know of how many lawsuits GDS have had over the years?
ReplyDeletei know there for several regarding sexual harassments, but anything else? they always settle so nothing ever made it to court, which it should because they need to be expose!!!!
illegal compnay all the way---conferences are under the "next genertion" brand, crazy how they the guys to come down...boiler room sales tactics, more importantly,illegal....bunch of stalkers, the use pranking programs to call ceos, they lie about EVERYTHING.....police should b involved...we need a real lawsuit. im sure hundreds of ex-employees who were smart enough to leave would come forward

ReplyDeleteI am the VP of a major computing company based out of the US. I travel a lot and am always at seminars and conferences. These guys hassle the hell out of me all the time! One will phone and tell me he's the MD from such and such Group, get me interested with some info from my own website (??) and then scream down the phone at me countering my objections with some scripted lines he obviously got spoonfed a week earlier. Another will say shes the VP Sales from X summit and conveniently talk about all these lovely titled, large enterprise customers that have interest in doing business in a company like mine! I have been in business long enough to know that a product that is sold over the phone with that amount of urgency and volume, normally isn't anything like the product you think it is! Incredibly, they're still in business in the UK, US and probably some other part of the world waiting to go public. It must be stopped, the shares will be worthless! I feel sorry for any employees that have been paid bonus that way. Yes I get told the company's been in business for over 13 years, yes they are a self called, self audited worldwide organisation, yes they do seem to recruit an aweful amount of people because in the 6 years i've been in this job, I must have been called and emailed by over 40 MD's / VP's from the same company! Farse. No, I don't believe any of it and I'm not interested in anything produced from any of their affiliations. And moreover, I urge you to not to pay for a thing and simply hang up on anyone you suspect until they send you an intro email. If you see GDS - then you were lucky - until the next time!!!
ReplyDeleteI worked at GDS for a year and then moved on to another sales and marketing job. Within my first few weeks at my new job, it was very interesting to learn the sales operations and logistics of a normal company when compared to that of GDS. A normal company uses advanced software to store information about prospects and track the opportunities that come from contacting them. GDS however, just hires massive amounts of kids fresh out of college, tells them to find leads on the internet, print them out and get the boss' cell phone number for the pitch. You can't tell them that you want to be taken off your call list because one doesn't exist. You'll get a call one day from a kid telling you to attend his energy summit, then get an advertising sales call from business management magazine, only to get another fresh call about the utility event from a new guy on the team that just found you on google that day. Depending on how many different industry verticals you sell to, it's very possible you'll get 10 more calls from GDS the following week about 5 more magazines and 5 different events. The whole system is just incredibly unorganized, unethical and very far from environmentally friendly. The amount of paper that gets wasted from people printing out leads in that office is absurd. The magazines don't go anywhere, and the event delegate lists include the names of many people who will NOT be in attendance. Caveat Emptor!
ReplyDeleteI worked in the Bristol GDS office for about a year. Made some good money but sold my soul doing it. Basically anything goes and there is no question that you will be told whatever it takes to close the deal. I once pretended that my manager was a very satisfied previous advertiser based in Eastern Europe (the mag i was on Was Business Management Europe) and pretended to patch him through to the prospect. He then, in his best polish accent, proceeded to tell them how many leads they had recieved from their advertising and how glad he was they'd done it. Done deal.Good old Dr Banner!
ReplyDeleteif you book for one project expect 5-6 calls from the other offices in the group offering you something else, they will just take every marketing buck they can get away with. The events are slightly different. Some of the guys on the list will be there, most wont and you will find this out when you actually get to book your meeting plan, i would suggest holding back a percentage of the fee until after the event, pay 50%, 25% then 25% after the event, that way you hold a few string. Also stand your ground legally, the contracts arnt worth the paper they are written on, your company lawyer will tell you that.
ReplyDeleteWorking there, its a good experience to hone your hard end telesales skills and earn some ok money if you want too. There is a big drug and drink culture, ethically its not great, but it depends what you set out too achieve. Its all smiles in the beginning but miss a few targets and watch the smiles go. Dont dedcate your life to the place,give 8-12 months and move on. Steer clear of the following people if you are female, Giggsy (he will ply you with drink and drugs, fill you with a sob story that his wife doesnt understand him the try and shag you over a line in a toilet somewhere) any of the senior male sales guys, you are fresh meat and they all want ago. Males, well, spencer is the boss, and if you suck his c**k just the once you too can get a 100k job, ask Richard Stirk, Rob Davis or Olly Smart. They are all 2 faced and care only about themsleves, they will all get there dues Im sure.
So steer clear of the GDS group and its amazing projects, you never will do any business from them.
I was duped into advertising with gds. I dont know what i was thinking but the guy was just so convincing at the time, the media kit and website was very impressive and after speaking with the guys director I got a great deal. The leads I was promised were non existant. The online information was just rubbish, it was basic data capture software that said someone had looked at my article, big deal, all rubbish and all lies, cost alot of money and delivered nothing. Spend your money by ramping up your google spend instead, ore value, better results, actual enquiries!
ReplyDeletehe same thing is happening in the UK, GDS are in the process of being investigated by the Companies Investigation Branch. They also need people to come forward with there stories of GDS and provide evidence etc. Call them on +44 (0) 2075966100

damien munro who is the GM there is also a big part of this scam. please don't leave him out, because you think he is so "nice." he is fake and i've witnessed him talking shit about everyone..if you're a company that have already signed up to do business with them and you meet damien down on sight pls be careful. he'll come off as mr. trustworthy and soft spoken and then will pitch you on doing a rebook with him right there and then. it's an act! many ppl have fallen for it and once you sign the contract and walk away he'll call you a dumb ass for falling for his bullshit. he pretends to be such a family man...lol! the other upper managers at GDS know that they are scumbags so they don't pretend to be ur bff....not damien. he wants u to believe his act, because he is a miserable fool. it's hard when you're spencer's pet when he is in town and have to do all the bitch work...sad life damien! stop fooling people.
ReplyDeleteRob Davis (VP of NA & SD) is also doing something very illegal and dating an employee at work. Her name is mariana from Brazil. she does not have her green card so she's trapped there. I think this should also be investigated because by law no upper management is allowed to date an employee at work.
ReplyDeleteOMG....frost & Sullivan is a partner of GDS. wtf! did they do their research on this company before partnering up with them? what does this mean? is frost & sullivan part of this scam too?
ReplyDeleteIDC i see is also a partner of GDS also...is this true?
can someone let them know? frost & sullivan is pretty respected so i don't know why they would do that to themselves. something doesn't sound right.
I work at GDS & I can't believe I'm writing this. Frost & Sullivan & the IDC have no idea about these websites. Who is going to email them & let them know? http://www.idc.com/about/contactidc.jsp
ReplyDeleteMy best friend works for a well-known trade magazine, and I'm embarrassed to tell him what I actually do at this company. Part of our pitch is to say that we're working with these 'independant analysts' on special sections in the magazine. What we are really saying is we forge a 'partnership'' based on lies so we (GDS) can steal their content to make the magazine ''look'' more credible.
Did I mention that we also reuse old magazine articles?
They make the ''managers'' of these magazine sell the ad space, manage a team of 8 people ''under them'' and organize content in a CEO-LEVEL industry trade magazine. This is garbage. This is not how it works.
You should hear this stuff Ollie (the global sales director) comes into the office and says.
It's all lies & fodder.
I'm quitting.
frost & sullivan and IDC who they claim to be partners with should know about their scams.
ReplyDeletehow do we go about letting them know?
As one of the top semiconductor companies in the industry, our company signed up as a sponsor with GDS on the supposition the executives they presented to us on their 'web site' would be present. As a VP of Sales and Marketing overseeing a product line it is important to network with key executives across industry and my executives surmised the event would be worth while. They even sent my executives over their 'contract' they 'claimed' everyone who was on the web site had to sign. Far from the truth because when I got to the event basically every high level executive we were expecting to see was not there and they kept changing our schedule so we did not have any control over who we met with. Basically our company spent 60,000 dollars on a 'gold' sponsorship to meet with low level managers and people I could of got on the phone myself. Ultimate waste of time and money. I recommend to anyone thinking about a GDS event to do some serious research before making your decision. Needless to say the executives who made our company decision on the GDS event are not with us anymore.
ReplyDeletethank god. people need to get a little more serious about exposing this very professional and clever scam. having actually worked at gds, it is clear that the sales tactics and methods of getting people on the phone are not only unethical, but more seriously, 100% ILLEGAL!!. also, there is no way that the publications are circultated to the numbers they said they are. they cant afford it. its not legal to pretend to b someone else to get someone on the fone, its not legal to name drop and say u have relationshiups with execs that you dont, its not legal to harrass someones cell phone until they answer. i can bet everything i have that if any client of gds knew the process of how they actaully went about their business, this company would go under so fast it would make ur head spin. they try to control ur whole life, try to brainwash recent college graduates and seduce them with all sorts of BS that a naive 22 year old would want.....bottom line, get more serious about exposing this company, call the DA's office PLEASE, also lets try and get the media involved. lets get the truth out there, start more blogs cuz more people need to know the TRUTH, not the lies and cover-ups that management is so good at promoting on a daily basis. and the people still working there...GET A REAL JOB !! ur too young and should take advantage of it and stop wastin ur time at gds----please reply if u would like to know more about the illegal methods that this company participates in as i would be more than happy to share information.

ReplyDeletei dont know.im confused, if its a scam then why would major companies do re-occuring business? i need concrete evidence. Sure they use completely unethical ways to get certain things done but im assuming that happens it a lot of companies. The only way to know for sure is to prove if the publications are actually sent out.
ReplyDeleteBecause the staff turn over at GDS and the people they are pitching is so high. Simple.
ReplyDeletePeople have been saying for years that they couldn't continue but they have and are still growing. If they are billing 500,000 a week thats 26 million a year.
If you really wanted to check the distribution figures go to companies house in the UK and buy a copy of the annual report they have to submit. This give a breakdown of all expenses + revenue it only cost about 25 pounds.
If that shows minimal printing costs then you know what they say is BS.
You lot are a bunch of mug disgruntled ex-employees with no backbone and no ability to go out into the world and stake your fucking claim. Ive just been hired to go out to Kuala Lumpur with the new company and im going to make shit loads of money for myself and the company. You idiots, wake up and smell the coffee. This company started in 1993 with 7 employees and £30k and now its a multi million pound global operation...imagine that.
ReplyDeleteThe mags go out, they are of excellent quality (ive seen them myself) You idiots stop wasting time. Ants can't bring down an elephant.
As an interested party I would like to know who Giggsy's been trying to shag, what drugs and when.....
ReplyDeleteYou do realise when you post personal things about someone's father/husband you are risking the happiness of their whole family. Please make sure you are writing accurate posts.
ReplyDelete"Steer clear of the following people if you are female, Giggsy (he will ply you with drink and drugs, fill you with a sob story that his wife doesnt understand him the try and shag you over a line in a toilet somewhere) any of the senior male sales guys, you are fresh meat and they all want ago."
ReplyDeleteThis is Ryan's wife....could you give me a little more information before our four children grow up without their father? Many thanks
Mmm didn't think so....
ReplyDeleteEveryone loves to accuse people of things but noone wants to prove it....
OMG...im about to get myself employed at GDS here in asia, they have currently opened one.Im quite afraid after reading all this.what do i do?
ReplyDeleteWell they also try and pass themselves off as other publishers. A complete pain if you are a reputable publisher with audited products. But they are quite clever never to put anything in writing...
ReplyDeleteGDS is a complete scam. As a former disgruntled client, do not do it.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you are thinking about working for them, don't.
They make you call people and pretend you are a CEO or an affiliate Phd, or endorsed by Gartner, EU or a Bank. You have to shout and say that a circulation is more than 20,000 thousand which it isn't, carrier delivered which it isn't or to meet the boss of some Company they will say Spencer is a personal friend with Richard Branson who should be coming!
ReplyDeleteThe truth is that no one gave two sh..ts about the drugs that went on, the corruption of youth and how they teach those naive youngsters to lie until they started to piss of some influential and determined people off, who backed off for some unknown reason very quickly once they handled their own agenda!
I'm slightly disappointed because the first posts ever to appeared were doing well and they were being caught for illegal misrepresenting someone from Gartner but then it disappeared and if it stayed - it would of sparred a few more innocent business minds! Which to those guy's I guess was their priority!
Now their CEO was fired for harassment, half of their Senior Staff got fired too, some broke away and some stole materials and started their own company, they are being sued for sexual harassment in the US http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruK08K6rRw4
some of this could have been prevented with one good joint effort we could of flushed them down the toilet! So lets forget those guy's in the beginning (Rich and who ever) we supported them but they never supported us back! Good luck to them...you are welcome for all that effort we put in so you can get some justice!
In terms of proof against them...look at their sales pitch and names WorldWide sales director (made up title from a snake con artist to feed his own ego). How can over 20,000 (and sometimes more depending whose pitching) + Journals from multiple publications say around 5 different kinds (all pitched as having that circulation independently) get courrier delivered for free? Richard Branson dosen't go to their events, nor does the Head of BT nor do the key names used to sell!
They almost never worked with half of the people they claim and the actual articles do not talk about what the Companies are trying to advertise ie THERE is NO real Synergy really non!
There are no Actual Leads! In fact NO Company Almost Ever got Good Quality Leads on a real time basis! The most is like 3 bad leads on a good average.
People need to get together and not rely on others and realize coke parties, cheatig, lying is not fun. Do not wait or ask for someone else to do your work for you...Put a law suit together!
I could go on and on but

ReplyDeleteScam Scam Scam...Look at Olly and what a douche he really really is...No ethics, no standards, no substance~
ReplyDeleteSo is their Revenue going down...when I was there they said the revenue was 25 mil now its 20? One day the circulation was 18 thou next day 20! Its all crap and nonsense!
Every single point here is true....they do have a serious harassment, let boys be boys scumbag douche's culture! They do lie! On everything!
As for Spence he is a dinosaur (a shrimp midget one), nobody does business the way he encourages. I will bet my dogs life
GDS has no future!
Be warned - GDS is a total scam, both if you get pitched by them or work for them.
ReplyDeleteI just left and they didn't pay me my due commission or salary.
Oliver Smart - joke

Crap company, crap job and dont pay them a penny to attend their "summits" or be part of their publications - total con. Spencer Green should be brought to account.

Giggsy went to New York in 2008?
I think it is just a shame that a lot of talented and bright individuals do get a bit sucked in by the company and end up feeling untouchable. Its scary to think just how successful the company could be if it were run properly, everything was above board and legal and management had a modicum of business sense! Unfortunately Spencer Green is just a bit thick in this regard and has relied on other people's good ideas and a hell of a lot of good fortune to end up where he is. That's the way of the world, rough justice but you just have to sit and be patient until someone does something about it. Really hoping the rumours are true and that Messrs Green, Smart, Davis and Craven do end up in prison - that would be a hoot..

This shows what rubbish people will write, Giggsy works in the Bristol office.
Honestly if you're going to try to mess up a man's family life at least know the basics of his working life!! I'm sure this makes Spencer and Giggsy's wife rest easy as nothing true about their husband's has been written!

Haha. Your post screams of so much irony, that the laughter from reading it makes the bleeding of my eyes bearable.
Forgot to mention the circulation ...oh yeah 'IT DON'T EXIST' . If its so ironic and successful why are business leaders all over these blogs confirming=SCAM SCAM SCAM...Spence well karma will catch up to him..never had a clue did he? just loved boiler room too dam much!
ReplyDeleteI worked for GDS immediately after graduating in 2002. What they do, they do well. It really is as simple as that. When you work in a sales and esp a commission based environment, then how much you earn is down to your own drive, level of activity and the quality of your communication, negotiation & persuasive abilities. The targeted decision makers at GDS are top level business people holding CXO positions within often multi national organisations. These people are not idiots (well they should not be by definition of the positions they hold), furthermore, they negotiate with salespeople on a daily basis and are themselves often highly trained in the art of purchasing products that clearly add value to their organisation and it's objectives. They control budgets and it takes more than a pack of lies to get them to release funds from such budgetary control. If the salespeople at GDS were truly as bad as you continually suggest, then surely GDS would be heading for administration for lack of income. But this is obviously not true. GDS experiences year on year revenue growth, even in times of global/national economic recession, when Ad spend is usually first to be cut. Clients did not buy off me because I told them I was the EMEA director or UK MD, or suggested content and distribution. They bought because they were impressed with me (people buy from people)and because the belief that I had in the publications I sold clearly shone through.To sell any high involvement, high value product via the telephone as the only medium takes skill. Why do clients, many of whom are high profile, continually re-book with GDS? Why in 16yrs have GDS not had to change its trading name, when many competitors have on more than one occasion? Why is the GDS business model not only viable but extremely profitable? Wake up people we live in a free market, keynesian economic system. This is business not a game! Yes staff turnover at GDS is high, but some individuals have made a successful career there. Not everyone is suited to a sales role, especially the high pressure environment that exists not just at GDS but many direct sales based organisations. In an economy that is suffering high levels of unemployment, at least GDS continually provide vacancies that help boost private sector employment. Employees are not all young, easily brain washed, recent graduates. I rejoined the company at age 30. Subsequently the above average OTE remuneration I enjoyed in my second period of employment at GDS allowed me the opportunity to save enough capital to be able to start my own company within recruitment & corporate training. Boiler room? Not exactly, but its hardly an 3rd world sweat shop exploiting labour. In an era where our banking system continually makes up, or blatantly break regulations & laws, you instead spend valuable time slandering Spencer Green. Why not investigate these financial services "Fat Cats" who very recently nearly destroyed ALL of our lives !
ReplyDeleteThis is pure crap///I saw myself how they treat female trainees way different from others. I saw how Ollie closes deals with figures from thin air, and promises to companies they do not even circulate.
ReplyDeleteI was there when business owners called back asking about the zero leads they got which we promised.
I was hangover after those infamous parties sponsored by Spencer....
I was there to see people get fired over nothing, witnessed your own best mate stealing leads from you cos they put them under pressure...
Look at the recruitment video, its an inbred, retarded, rehashed bull shit information culture where they repeat their own bullshit so much they start believing it, especially if it comes with a check!
Their product suck otherwise why cheat and lie so much...its a shaggytocracy, some events and meettheboss are hit and miss but the culture is pathological bs!
Ask Spencer to audit his publications and open the books...Bloggs are filled with legit data even third party independent work environments reviews all rate them as the next best thing to a toilet!
The amount of money our teamed straight scammed there was ridiculous -Boiler Room-of course it is Christopher, its as farce as your little song!
does anyone still look at this site? Is rob davis still in ny? i sat next to this guy for almost a year- great salesman and good at what he does...but its all lies!
ReplyDeleteI am looking at this now. I was dismissed unfairly with no notice while working at GDS. My efforts were wasted and my labor taken advantage of.
ReplyDeleteLoved Spencer bull crap on meetthebosstv and I hear Oliver Smart is now the CEO. Well I said it before anybody that Olly is Jim and Kim=Olly and guess what I was right.
ReplyDeleteI think they settled on their law suit and I hear they changed all publications and trying to change the culture, which is better than it used to be.
Still GDS International is on the whole a Scam and their products sucks, why give money to people who are corrupt and corrupt one another.
Some Summits are good because to be fair GDS know how to bullshit and know how to party (wink wink, alcohol and other substances) but those Summits largely are just social events and relaxed network gatherings, so very over priced.
I wonder how many young professionals and some good people those bastards have corrupted? And how many young confidences have they shattered>
GDS is a Scamming Scam!
I had an interview with them in 2008. I found the office enviorment very inmature and unprofessional - the receptionist was cursing up a storm like it was the cool thing to do. I felt like I was a fraternity pledge the first day - they made a whole group of us walk around reciting training material. I dont know how they get any work done by goofing around. I thought they were professionals but I guess that quickly changed one at thier office. If you see them at a job fair dont waist your time - they're a bunch of insepied ignorant unprofessional assholes!
ReplyDeleteI agrre butt plse post yre comennts in "English". Other than that, I couldn't agree more. If you're thinking of joining this company, please think again. If you have any moral standards, think again. If you wish at some point to be prosecuted for contravening just about every standard that a genuine company should keep to, carry on. On your head be it. Frankly - if you do, you're crazy. Good Luck
ReplyDeleteThis company is a joke.
ReplyDeleteI was employed with GDS Bristol back in August 2010. Was 30 years old and needed a job. I was recruited by a guy called Tudor Williams, who to be fair was a decent chap and certainly one of the better ones there.
ReplyDeleteThe training started with a group of around 15 people that dropped off on a daily basis until we were left with around 6 or 7 at the end of week 2. Most were young and straight out of uni. All true that you are taught to lie, cheat, shout and do just about anything you can to close a deal. There is a huge coke culture at the office, with many people in and out of the toilets every few minutes, and not even trying to hide it! One major offender was a twat called Frodo. Seemed to think he was some sort of a sales god, and used to prance around the office on his hands free head set, sniffing and rubbing his nose pretending to be a CEO of some huge multi national company. When he wasn’t doing this he was sucking on the UK sales director Kash's nob. Kash was also a complete ruthless, lying, coked up two faced scum bag. Don’t get me wrong, there were some good sales people there, but you very much had to be in the "in crowd" to stand a chance of succeeding. In many regards it was a terrible place to work, but saying that they did do a few good days out, and laid on free bars now and again.
Oh geez. Reading all this is freaking me out. I'm about to go to my second phase interview in sydney at a 'meet and greeat' with ollie smart other managers and I presume also with other prospective employees. Anyone have any feedback on the culture in the Sydney office?!?
ReplyDeleteAnyone notice the resemblance between Spencer Green and Derek Branning? Sooo alike on so many levels!
ReplyDeleteHybrid News is a scam as well....another James Craven company. Beware!
ReplyDeleteGod you lot are funny. Talk about over exaggerating everything. If it was really that bad they wouldn't be in business.
ReplyDeleteGDS is a great place to learn how to sell... you learn how to scam and then when you lose your relationships you learn why you shouldnt. This atmosphere is great for drug dealers and career criminals that want to escape the life of crime but dont have the educational background to do so. Once you have been fully trained at gds you can basically sell yourself into anywhere. The culture is weak all though there are some strong ones the place reaks like death. As long as you stay on the phone and get pitches out you will have a great time! I promise! The truth is there summits arent that bad....it just depends who is building them. The problem with the company is there is not any leadership. I suggest if you do decide to work there milk them for everything they have and dont be afraid to fuck the company because someones going to get fucked so you might as well decide if your taking it or giving it.

My name is Spencer Green. I want the company I founded, GDS International, to be the world’s best business-to-business events company, and I want to run The Virgin London Marathon on behalf of the National Autistic Society. Six weeks ago, a major setback on one goal helped me to see both more clearly…

A New HR Strategy for a Better Company
March 09, 2011
I have always prided myself on my company’s ability to promote from within – but growth presents many challenges, and an HR rethink was required. Can it give us the best of both worlds? Absolutely: if we get it right…
I worked for GDS for 3 months, it was the worse job I have ever had. The training openly consisted of developing your skills to lie through your teeth to clients. I worked on magazine called China Connect and had to tell clients it went to all the major decision makers in Chinese government...all utter crap, the only copies printed were the ones sent to clients to show them their advertisment. Really high levels of verbal abuse was a regualr event, fuelled by a drug culture. Sacked anybody at the drop of a hat. Everything that clients are told is a lie.
ReplyDeleteJames Craven's new company is not a scam. Worked there for over a year and enjoyed it. No lies, all straight out truth telling and selling what is a genuinely good product.
ReplyDeleteHeard bad things about GDS and I would believe everything I read about it.. however Hybrid News is A-OK and a great place to work.
Hybrid News Group is as big a scam as GDS, but anyone stupid enough to use their products deserve to be ripped off. The above post has James Craven written all over it..
ReplyDeleteGDS is a complete and total embarrassment to commerce nee the human condition. I have witnesses some of the most repugnant, emetic and downright ludicrous behavior of my life within this "company".
ReplyDeleteImpressionable youths are taught how to lie to anyone who will listen. They are also encouraged to lie on their backs for anyone who is even barely their superior. It's a sad thing to see a young person with no self esteem completely demeaned and then passed around like a blow-up doll with a pulse.
One would almost wish to be as ingnorant as the majority of the sociopaths who work there to stomach the daily parade of dishonesty, racism, sexism, misogyny and religious persecution that is par for the manure laden course.
If your fortunate enough to not be brain dead and have a shred of self worth, be prepared to defend yourself against an onslaught of angry would be suitors. I mean how dare a woman not want to have anything to do with a lecherous, disgusting bunch of immature c**ck wagging wankers? They're so used to their churn and burn world of getting whatever tart is on the next corner that they have zero idea how to interact with a normal person. These people are brainwashed in the worst way. One could almost feel sorry for them. They genuinely don't know any better for the most part ant the ones that do are floating around in a drug addled haze just cope.
Speaking of floaters.....let's discuss their so called business practices and shoddily put together events. People are committing fraud on a daily basis, pretending to be assistants from investor's offices and even employees of the CEO's own company to get executives phone numbers. It's ghastly and gross. And it serves as the first step in corrupting one's value system. It's all downhill from there. More lying, being fed lines of what to say word for word as they are on the phone. This furthers the sense of insecurity these people feel, as they most often have never held a real job(and still haven't ). GDS is a giant mind f***ck. I like to call their process brainwash-light. It can turn a week minded individual into a sociopathic puppet, manipulated at will. Disgusting is the one word that encompasses everything that GDS is about. If your lucky you escape with your values in tact and a real sense of what it is to be a decent human being because you've been trapped in a room with the worst of the worst. GDS-Where Morals Go To Die(wouldn't that make a great film.....I'm thinking Rupert Murdoch as the rich man's Spencer Green?).....
