Pros

Benefits and salary were among the best based on my experience.

Cons

In short, once S.W.I.F.T. underwent the "LEAN" transformation, and cut 30% of their staff, I can see now that Management was not willing to challenge the CEO on the way business should be done. The LEAN transformation is now seen as micromanagement at best. Several people are not satisfied. I left because I couldn't see myself being micromanaged as well.

Pros

Swift is a Society for the Banks. If you are looking for steadiness in your career and good growth opportunities, then Swift is the place to be. Great Benefits package. You start with 4 weeks of vacation, good medical/dental benefits, a pension plan and an excellent 401k package.

Cons

A large number of senior candidates thus making growth at higher levels too stunted. However, a great company to work for if you are in the long haul.

Pros

Team and managers give enough time to settle down. Frequent team lunches and free juice, tea and coffee. Reasonable salary, Longer contracts.

Cons

1. Too much hierarchy and hard to break in groups - Some groups are highly unapproachable. 2. Many team members are unapproachable and hesitate to share knowledge, making it very difficult to work. 3. Too many meetings and time sheets. 4. No recognition for hard work. Contractors are given boring and routine tasks. 5. Some team members are highly influential and very difficult to convince with new ideas. 6. There are many groups where team members are around for ages. They hesitate to co-operate and help when inter group co-ordination is involved. 7. Contractors are made to run around asking for details and are not given any priority. They have to be self driven and are excluded from annual reviews and feedbacks. Contractors feel left out in day to day activities. 8. Teams make you feel that you are a contractor at every step. 9. Many projects you work here is not of much use outside, so keep updating your skills on daily basis!
