Ahh my apologies I may look like a HR person here promoting SWIFT earlier lol. I am working in swift now.. Since they first open in March last year.

Firstly allow me to clarify that swift is indeed desperate. Desperate for good candidates. You won't believe how many ppl has failed the interviews here hence why swift keeps advertising. Turn over rate? Only 2 person has resigned so far. One is a freshie who got a better offer outside and one lady who follows her husband to singapore. We expanded from 30 ppl to close to 100 now.. Swift KL is expanding really fast.. That is why you see a lot of vacancies.. But there hasn't been the same position being advertised repeatedly.. They are all new positions smile.gif

Ok don't wanna sound too butthurt ppl saying negative stuff abt my company tongue.gif

I am in IT department and my team is awesome. I can't say abt other teams since there are a lot of other IT teams.. Development team for diff products. There are also the finance team, support, sales, KYC etc.

Workload? Evenly balanced.. We use agile scrum methodology.. Sprints for every two weeks so we plan the workload for every two weeks based on your availability and the task priorities. We have short meetup in the mornings to catch up with the team.. If there are any blocking issues etc.

Stressful? Not really.. You do your job well, you deliver, you communicate to the team in KL & overseas stakeholders.. Again, these are all my take on my team ya.. Maybe other teams has diff workload levels..

Flexible? How flexible? During probation we come to work 9 to 530 pm. Yes, swift working hrs is 7.5 per day instead of your normal 8hr per day.. After probation you can choose your own schedule.. As long as per week you work enough hours.. Like for some we work extra an hour per day, and on Fridays we work half day.. Whatever is it, all must be agreed by your manager.

Working from home is 2 days per week.. But you must be in office at least 3 days per week. So if got cuti in that week, you probably can't work frm home cos not enough 3 days being present in office.

Traveling? Some of us get to go to Belgium, US, HK.. Based on what ur jobscope, who ur stakeholders are.. How frequent? Not so lah.. Once or twice a year maybe.. Maybe never..

The office environment here is syiok jugak lah.. Open seating.. Pantry stocked with snacks, milo, kopi, bread, nutella peanut butter yadayada.. Fridge full with soft drinks, juice, milk, cheese, fruits.. Ok must stop here tongue.gif
Got Xbox, board games, activities organized by committees etc.

Here we are mixed ppl from multi countries, multi faith, multi race. The management puts effort in keeping us as a team.. Not an easy task with the rate of the company growing.. Lots of newcomers every month.. Even I also tak kenal all of them. Very different from when we first joined the company. Everyone knows everybody smile.gif

Penat jari type using phone. Hope this helps! Don't judge us yet before you come here to our office, meet us, go through the interview etc. Maybe you'll like us, maybe we won't be your cup of tea who knows. Hope anyone who has been to the interviews can share your experience here too! Would be great to hear what you feel about us.

Yes, at least better than my current one.

I am sure there are many more companies offering better benefits and terms depending on what job seekers looking and prioritise more.

For me, I am really happy with the benefits offered and am very excited to join them soon!

The interview process, thankfully was a bliss and rather a quick one, in term of waiting time for the outcome.

This company slowly turning into a pile of shit hole.

If you work under Finance and Business Operation.

Good luck ! they hire annoying-micromanaging person to manage the umbrella.

I guess HR just want to close position. Instead of hiring good people they hiring stage 4 cancer and spreading around the company like a wildfire.

Another way to improve your level in swift. Lick other people ass probably you will get the position you want.

this is something i dont like when talk about people management .

please stick to the objectives that we already stated during one-to-one with the manager and you will be doing fine .

else you can escalate that to your manager or manager+1 if you fell daunting of what other department to you during task execution.

if they dont like it , means they aren't professional enough.

sad but true.

Selamat Ramadhan and Happy Wednesday everyone smile.gif

Working experience in Swift - so far so good! Sitting near the window helps when I have to stare at three monitors interchangeably 5/7 days a week lol 😂😂😂 but all is good, in fact working anywhere, or everywhere, it's the same. Have gratitude, give your very best before expecting the best for yourself and you ll be in the right direction!

Good luck everyone! P/s: halo to all seniors and buddies!

Good luck for the technical test.

Might be more into requirement gathering for projects related to security.

Some secure coding and programming.

Again. Good luck.
