work culture is good . you can wear casual shirt and jeans and sneakers . you can come early and back home early , depends on your team lead .

No worries , the environment not stress like Scope International. That i can promise you .

you might able to go to Belgium for training and business trip if your department allows you to do so .

increment and bonuses ..it depends on you performance evaluation which they will conduct every 6 months ( if i'm not mistaken )

Please apply these vacancies

Prefer not to answer that question :-)

aha great , maybe you are one of the early swift joiner while they opened first office here in KL .

now i know why turnover rate in swift is very low .

because of these benefits .

i heard some employees ask for child care allowance ,since it would be delighted for some of the swift parents .

the drawback is ... salary wise .

you unable to get salary to be match with your job role .

an advice from me , if you are hired as consultant or contractor.

if you are an IT engineer , please go for professional certifications e.g MCSE , RHCE,LPI,CISSP and so on ..

if you had these certification(s) , please renew it if expired.

because this is the time you guys should upgrade yourself . there was too many job offers but the firm would to see evidence like these.

people nowadays are brilliant , they would able to pass the interview , and demonstrate their knowledge merely by mouth story and assumptions.

but if you had these pro certs , you are in another level .

unless the firm offers you below than it should be . like RHCE certified or CISSP certified , but you just getting below 10k wages . that is not fair .

like

RHCE certified (with experience 10 years) , minimum you should get = RM 11k . Max ? can be above 20k , if you can demonstrate new tech , like cgroups , virtualizations etc
CISSP certified (with experience 10 years) , minimum you should get = RM 15k. Max ? can be above 25k , if you can demonstrate diff tech , like ransomware, malware , intrusion detection etc

One advise.

Be yourself.

No idea. Maybe you can convey that question to the facilitator .

I believe it is their standard of work for both HR and learning Dept.

i never put any excitement to join any companies ..unless they offer me something i cannot refused (like USD 5k salary minimum, travel to the site offices 50% of the month , multiple perks and so forth)


i'll put it this way :


1. some people took the offer because they don't have the choice . Yes , some of my colleagues did that .

2. some people took it because they don't want to be bored at home . Money is not main issues here . he/she knows how to make money as their 2nd or 3rd source of income . And they will never ever put comfort zone as their main reason to stay . they will jump out the ship once he/she done .

3. some people took the job because they prepare for something else , like next interview with big 4 ( Facebook,Google,Amazon,Tesla) . And again this is not about the money . It is all about putting themselves among the best in any of that big 4 .

Yup .. i can say they provided good benefits and perks. But some people eager to see what Swift can offer beyond than that.

I never like office politics since it is totally not a good way to climb up to the top level.

Like technical people.. they plan...they execute...they deliver. That's it.

Like leaders ..they observe .. they facilitate ..they assist . That's it.

Like managers.. they hear..they see..they act . That's it.

No need dumb politics to climb the pyramid. Results do tell.

i can't agree more on this . this is happening on all organisations , in Malaysia.

They were unable to pay high salary up to candidate expectations , but they will adjust it with benefits and perks ... which a trap for them . Why it is trap ? please google to find out why .

That's the reason why most of candidates tend to find work out of here .

they can get better offer and career path and those stuff....even they can save a few thousands of EURO or USD from abroad for their family back here.

Here ? i raise my case . you knew it already .

Yes they do, i reckon.

Pay rate will be same as local. That's what i understand.. Including their perks as well.

I can't agree more on this.

You have to be either manager or head of department to earn that.

No prob. Anytime.

Yes..i cannot agree more on this.

We , salary people, already aware in this.

Thus..re-skilling and adopt/learn new tech is a must/compulsory..so the affected employee(s) will be prepared..mentally and physically

Even me myself thinking to register for online courseware with MIT for computer science . You know..problem solving is not all about programming.. it is the art of how we solve the problem. Not a problem.

first you have to understand why they opened their office here in KL . not just swift , but every companies that set up here in KL.

secondly , retrenchment would not be affected here in KL , at least for now . Currently all around the world were in the midst of bringing down numbers of employee to reduce the cost (like pensions,re-skilling,perks and benefits) . some companies need to achieve target to employ 1-5 new talents every month .like in other European country , their target is to reduce at least -5 existing employees

For example , can you imagine if we (senior level) could receive the same benefit from Europe (like company car that can be replace every 4-5 years , including maintenance , gas , tyres and so forth) ? I bet you wont , unless you are good . sorry not "good" , But , damned good .

how to survive in this wave ? i have told in my prior post. Re-skilling . learn new tech , be certified on something (AWS,RHCE,ISQTB, and so forth)

even me myself have to re-learn about problem solving foundation via online courseware in edX.org.

so , i could stay valued in the company . Else i can move on without any heartbreak.

hmm for this part , i would like to advise you to re-look at my post here

put this in your mind , tightly :-

Reminiscing those times... job offers, increment, adjustments were based on X% of last salary. It plays well with the employers until they found out they can't beat the market especially when talents keep thinning through attrition.

yes , even Swift unable to beat market . they have to do some technique to allure the candidate and the art of persuasion, by giving them so-called work life balance , benefits and perks , travel to the parent company every year. Yes , it works , especially for newbies and fresh grads. But not for experienced professional who worked 10-15 years as they seen already the pro/cons on their salary increment and career advancement.

imagine the candidate who received salary like around 20k per month , in ringgit. after several vetting process , yes he was received that chunk of money on his prior employer . but the potential employer unable to pay because it is HR to make the call. They have to offer around 10k only which is quite unsatisfied. Why?

Because they need to control this . They unable to beat the global market . usually 20k is for somebody working as country manager. Even Head or department should not getting that figure.

i have advised my colleague who's already achieved that salary ceiling ..to spread his wing to another country , and from there , he will know what is "sky is the limit" all about.

Their recruiter will revert back to you , once everything ok from their end .

Usually recruiter will get back to you. Maybe the recruiter on leave. Please wait their response at least next 2 weeks or 11 Sept .



- hmm..classified. need you to be onboard then you will know the answer.
- classified as well.
- depends on which regions.

you have to demonstrate something spectacular during interview and/or technical interview session , projects that you had involved prior to this , and any achievement(s) that prove your credentials on this role.

never give up . please do try again.

Please apply at their official website

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.

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.
