Pros

Good extra legal advantages, good company culture on the overall, good training package (soft skills), beautiful environment (Park, Sport Centre), good colleagues, learn of work methodologies.

Cons

Middle management is control-freak, too much administration for some things, use of old technologies, some departments fighting against each others (depending on the managers).

Pros

Good work-life balance compaired to most companies in the IT sector these days. Nice office environments always in pretty good locations (but some country offices are out in the sticks including the belgian headquarters here in LaHulpe). High quality peers who genuinly want to perform their best and improve things. International team.

Cons

Senior management has lost the plot in regards to company direction. Company somewhat arrogant and refuses to see that SWIFT SWIFT is increasingly non-relevent beyond BIC directory and FIN service. Commercial side just cannot see this. Dated technology means you won't learn as many markatable IT skills. This will be a problem for peple leaving SWIFT. Increasingly downsizing operational staff such as IT and support to low-cost countries to save money at the expense of quality. Used to have a policy of FNAO (Failure Not an Option) but cost cutting means customer impacting screw ups are frequent and most definately a valid option to senior management. Power games and rank pulling becoming part of daily life. Lots of bad managers with no skills making decisions they aren't qualified to make who don't support their subordinates.
