Good company but depends on direct team and bosses - Associate GIC Employee Review

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, good benefits. People in general are nice

Cons

- Extremely political place. Need to be very careful to not step on anyone's toes. Have been blamed for things that weren't my fault on multiple occasions. - A lot of managers have been around for very long (like 10, 20 years), so they have lost touch and don't know what the working world outside is like. Results in very unrealistic and unreasonable expectations for more junior staff, very little guidance and support provided. - Work-life balance is pretty much non-existent, not enough people to support the work to be done. This is despite efforts from the top to improve WLB.

Business Outlook

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.
