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.

Poor culture

Pros

Lots of resources as an investment professional

Cons

Poor culture, as a whole unfriendly environment though some individuals can be nice. Bureaucratic and political, investment performance does not matter. You have to be good at managing everyone's perception of you if you want to succeed. Emphasis more on relationship management rather than making money.

Pros

Free Lunches, lots of brown bag events, snacks, well stocked pantry, good benefits,

Cons

The MDs tends to be self serving, frequent dept restructuring, work culture sucks as people tend to be uncooperative and managers simply agree to what the management wants and just push workload and issues to ground staff to handle and resolve
