RecommendsPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Temasek
Pros
More than just an asset manager or investment company - takes its role as a steward seriously in direction and in actions, leading to meaningful work. Bright and talented people coupled with deep networks and influence leading to stimulating work. Willing to try new things and take calculated risks. Good name brand. Good overall remuneration and benefits.
Cons
Some process overhead. Some fog due to large scale of changes being implemented. Pockets of politics due to fragmentation of service delivery groups.
Advice to Management
Continue to develop the clarity of purpose and execution in the new era. Gather as much information and keep objectivity paramount while implementing organizational and structural updates.
