Pros

Fair compensation. Solid benefits, if you want to invest in yourself there are ways company supports you. Another good thing is that the company is in the transformational route, especially in the IT part where it was not invested much in the past. Improved interviewing process and a lot of new quality oriented hires. And on top of that, keeping up with the AI. It's good time to be part of GIC.

Cons

A lot of initiatives on all levels, with different agendas and KPIs - which results in a lot of overlapping work and lack of focus.

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.
