SWIFT reviews

not too many career opportunities doubtful work-life balance: frowned upon when tried to use parental leave to which legally entitled to, which would be even paid by state, not the company. Could have taken originally only 4 weeks and was going to lose 5 weeks as they expire, by 1 week worse than a colleague. Was allowed to take the remaining 5 weeks only when agreed with the superior that was going to look for another job after the leave, as anyway the job description wasn't exactly what it was advertised to be. All of this despite the fact that was very transparent at the moment of hiring that still had 9 weeks of leave left and wanted to take them - the HR said that this wouldn't be any problem, which they still claimed even when the superior wasn't very happy about it. The context is that they had another person on long-term leave, but in such case, why would they hire somebody with 9 weeks of leave left and claim it wasn't any problem? Despite that, the workload was totally fine. They weren't even willing to explore other options such as shorter working hours or 1 day out of week off which are optional alternatives how to take the leave.
