Pros

Office is good. Good pay, allowance and medical benefit. Work life balance is achieved. You can choose to work from home.

Cons

1. Middle management sucks. Upper management just listen and believe what middle management says. 2. Middle management delegates all their work to working level staff. Even for those management work, they asks junior guys for assistance 3. From management perspective, working at SWIFT for long time means an expert in security. That’s why there is no improvement even though security team has been set up for few years. 4. Middle management only talks and talks without real deliveries. They emphasis talking and no conclusion coming out after a long time of talk. But upper management likes it! 5. Poor inventory, IAM, log and control mechanism. Middle management doesn’t address it even though junior staff can observe. 6. SWIFT encourages team transfer. But that’s disaster meaning that your senior can be someone without security knowledge.
