Pros

Generally a good company with good career progression. CEO is great, he’s very wise and truely wants the best for GIC and Singapore. Many reviews said WLB was bad, but compared to global IBs I find it much better here.

Cons

There are some pain points in certain parts of the organisation right now, and it’s disappointing that the leaders does not see or empathise with the level of severity of the issues.

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.
