Pros

Good training opportunities, room for growth, competitive salary and outstanding benefit packages

Cons

The company lost its way while trying to be more of commercial and a profitable company, while it should be managed what it was founded as: a non-profit corporate. That it is supposed to be a non-profit organization is for a good reason so that banks can fully rely on it. If SWIFT becomes too commercial, an entity that can be replaced by a for profit company, then it will be replaced by a for profit company as SWIFT would become irrelevant.
