GIC reviews

The real reality is not what the top sees/think they see... There's a lot of micromanagement yet you hire the best of the best only to micromanage them. Everything is urgent but really when you look at it there is no reason for it to be considered urgent and most of it is urgent because of poor planning. It is rather unexpected of a company this size to be very poorly planned and inefficient at the working level. Eg meeting invites are sent with only hours notice for after hours time the same day, meetings consistently overrun and significantly overrun >30min to hours, meetings are held repeatedly for the same issue to/fro yet no resolution because everyone comes unprepared just blabber and digress and then overrun and then have another meeting. Top management are aware of these issues, they have come up with action plans to address these but yet none of these action plans are put into real action, they remain as nothing but wallpaper Other reviewers have correctly pointed out the expectation to work while sick and while on leave.

very political culture... overseas education background is highly valued
