FAKE GLASSDOOR REVIEWS

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible, hybrid work environment on occasion. Beware of all the positive Glassdoor reviews. They are probably all FAKE. New joiners are made to write positive Glassdoor reviews on their first week at the company. This is made mandatory by HR and considered as part of their on-boarding.

Cons

Very low salaries (lower than the legal minimum salary at some point) , no perks, no career progression or promotion opportunities and no official company-wide promotion processes , additional work and responsibilities are given to junior employees with no compensation, high turnover, very bad management, unstable work environment/ prone to frequent changes in job description, no communication or transparency with management, unrealistic expectations considering lack of resources.

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We are really disappointed to hear that your experience working at our company is not positive. I would like to ensure you our People Team do not force people to write reviews as part of the onboarding process and always leave it up to the employee to decide if they would like to write reviews, positive or negative, during their time at Global Data. We'd appreciate the opportunity to speak with you further on any of the points you have raised. Please could we ask you to contact HRsupport@globaldata.com to discuss further.

Pros

- They invest a lot in training which will be difficult to find anywhere else - If you survive, you will be a much better Sales person after - Good starting step as a first job

Cons

- Low pay - Boiler room sales environment - They will gaslight you into thinking your are terrible at your job, even if you are a top performer to justify not paying you a normal amount
