swift already considered very good ledi if compared to other companies, if ppl working in swift still complain bout swift then they clearly never seen worse companies before, no company is perfect and overall swift is really very good ledi, dis is not google or facebook or microsoft, if u wan perfect company then go join those companies instead (provided you are good enuf to get into those companies)

Yeah this is why most of the high qualification candidate won't join this company. If you are selected to join swift, don't so happy, most probably the salary they offer you is below market price. biggrin.gif

and my salary is well above average for my experience and position biggrin.gif

Keep hiring non stop meaning finding cheaper slaves from the market to replace their existing employees.

Mean they probably practicing "churn and burn" management tactics.

They will probably make use of some kind of so call mgmt methodology to remove their existing employees to be replace by cheaper one.

they are aggressively expanding now, that is why they non stop hiring, turnover is low over here, dont simply bullshit if u duno what is happening in this company

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.

all i can say is, i got a pretty good offer frm swift n i oni hav a few years of experience. im still a long way frm the 10-15 years experience, so i will hav to see after 10 years of working and see how it goes

but for nw, swift is already very good if compared to others, many companies that used to be good last time hav gone bad now due to change in management. Experian hav turned bad, Quintiq hav turned bad (they used to hav very good reviews last time, but not anymore) while for swift, its still good here. i hav asked many seniors and old timers how is swift and all of them say its good n they hav no complains. the first batch of swifters, most of them are still here today

for the salary part, mayb u are right, swift cannot pay high salary/career advancement for very experience staffs. but for juniors and seniors like me, the salary is above market average and by the time i hav 10 years experience, mayb i will plan to leave swift and join other companies, rarely ppl will stay in a company until they retire. if a better offer comes, of course i will take it smile.gif
