Vantaggi

Pros are on the investment side, where even junior professionals are given outsize responsibilities and ability to deploy capital unlike any other investment firm in the US. Counterparties also treat GIC employees like VIPs due to the capital they control.

Svantaggi

Numerous: Asian management mentality (ie you should appreciate us for giving you a job, respect authority, don't make waves, do as I say and don't question), employees are on call all the time (expected to return emails and attend meetings even at 3AM EST), non-investment professionals have no career growth prospects outside of Singapore, pay is stagnant year over year unless you are promoted, job responsibilities are fluid and can change any time, extremely lean teams in all areas with unrealistic goals/tasks expected of each employee, low morale across the organization but especially in corporate roles. Diversity and Inclusion also does not exist as a consideration, they think being heavily Asian staffed excludes the need for other minority hires.

Vantaggi

"People-first" culture (though this is rapidly eroding, see Cons)

Svantaggi

Technology Group (TG) and the former Data Strategy Group (DSG) are nothing short of toxic. Under the direction of COO Sam Kim Yong Sang, we are witnessing a cold, calculated "silent layoff" campaign. Long-tenured staff who have given their best years to the firm are being funneled into mass PIPs that are designed for failure, not growth. This isn't about performance. It’s a transparent maneuver to trim headcount and hit aggressive KPI targets without the PR fallout of a formal redundancy. Management is treating human beings like line items on a spreadsheet, ignoring the devastating impact on families and the mental health of loyal employees. The TG leadership has become a puppet for these metrics, destroying the very culture of trust that took decades to build.
