I can talk about GSDC division, not sales. GSDC Management is not just naive but very reactive as well. Mid level management is ex-call center and IT help desk folks, expertise or intelligence take a back seat while politics will take you places. I have seen people bad mouthing about each other, and seniors and then getting fired...its one big reality show! If leadership was exercised as many times as it was spoken about, SWO GSDC would have been a good to place to work, sadly, it's just a word. Career Opportunities: You can rise in ranks but you won't learn a lot. Compensation: Very scattered, I was payed well, but lot of people were underpaid. Work/life Balance: Work life balance is pretty good actually, management is not very strict about day to day activities. Micro-management is scarce. Senior Management: Well it looks foreign, but its not. GSDC is like a small organization, with small stakes trying to do all the homework it can or not for SWO sales force. Senior management of GSDC acts funny, sometimes they react(firing people) and sometimes they are cool about someone harassing some female. HR department is a joke. Culture and Values: Culture is being fast, fast and fast. Does it work? not for GSDC. For GSDC it should be quality, more quality and then some more.

Company culture is definitely the typical 'sales orientated, drinking every week' culture - if you don't drink to excess you are 'out', this culture is driven by senior UK and global management, company events are (in my experience) all about drinking. HR is still a young function and is trying to implement procedures and process, unfortunately due to the 'boys club' culture, I can see potential for sexual or discrimination grievances unless management changes. Secondary level management varies, and there doesn't appear to be a proper focus on soft skill management training to ensure that you are retaining good staff instead of them leaving due to bad people management.
