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

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

Cons

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.
