Pros

- Great Pay - Great Location - Great Benefits

Cons

- Beginning to sound cliché by now, but the environment & culture is highly toxic, political, and unworthy of mention. Truly a shame that the environment in a company of GIC’s stature has degenerated to its current woeful state. The person sitting in HR who has been tasked to progress people/culture has clearly been regressing and more alarmingly, seems clueless on how to move things forward. - Many of the Senior Managers/MDs in CS seem more attune to serving their own personal agendas and needs as opposed to doing what’s right for the organisation. The new norm seems to revolve around rolling out fluffy, seemingly ground-breaking initiatives in an effort to make themselves look good, but which when dug deeper , is of zero-value add & does not make the team or the Organization any more productive.

Pros

Good vision, good talent (under bad management), market rate compensation

Cons

​Incompetent Leadership: Constant, chaotic reorganizations driven by new senior leads looking for short-term wins rather than sustainable engineering. ​Tone-Deaf Management: Townhalls are heavily curated to ignore genuine feedback regarding burnout and management debt. ​The "Silent Layoff" Strategy: Mass PIPs and aggressive performance grading are being used to quietly trim headcount, destroying team morale. ​Inefficient Ecosystem: Paralyzing security and risk processes block execution at every turn, while engineering teams are expected to run at 200%+ capacity. ​Inefficient HR: A heavy layer of senior HR personnel who offer zero practical guidance, zero empathy, and zero worker protection.
