Pros

Smart and nice colleagues, global investment exposure, relatively good job security, relatively low stress for buy-side front office, excellent training for those entering the Professional Programme, good opportunity to rotate through various asset classes, compensation is decent for a real money buy-side firm.

Cons

Very top down management, politics is a major factor behind promotions and opportunities, while changing it remains a very Singaporean-based professional environment. I think there is a lot of unfair moaning about compensation among GIC staffers. If you want to get paid like in hedge funds or (becoming less so) in a global investment bank, then go to these firms, and not stay in what is essentially a real money asset manager.
