Avoid at any cost

Pros

Competitive base salary and benefits. That’s the only con I can think of.

Cons

Lack of compliance. Sexual harassment and power harassment. No work life balance. Lack of resources. A night before the final interview I was contacted by one of interviewer via message app and was asked if I was single or seeing anyone. And it was directed by a hiring manager as they wanted to avoid female candidates who may potentially marry and take maternity leave in the future. When I learned the truth I confronted with the manager. He refused to answer my questions and told me resentfully that when women got married they cannot do overtime. He complained that I don’t do enough overtime until midnight. I reported this to HR and got retaliated. They have extended probation from 6 to 9 months without valid reason and my consent which is illegal in my country. When I refused to sign that letter HR and the immediate manager pushed me to submit resignation. I was also Power-harassed and bullied. All other reviews often complain about the quality of middle manager and HR. Indeed they are right.

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.
