Pros
If you are a Swire Management Programme hire you'll have incredible training and development opportunities, you'll be given assignments in diverse global locations and promoted rapidly. Lots of great people in the companies and in the head office - really bright, dedicated, fun. Very stable employer, riding out crises with a degree of comptenence.
Cons
Lacks a decent approach to DEI at a corporate level - and this shows. Good people (lots of women, but also men) do leave because of this. Group doesn't have a purpose beyond generating returns for shareholders, when this would be appropriate, possible, the right strategic move in 2022. High performing non SMP staff don't get the same access to training opportunities, and it can be very difficult to break into the groups of staff considered for advancement if you didn't come in as an SMP graduate.

Interesting job rotations and locations, convivial atmosphere, supportive network of executives.

No control over career progression, job rotation or timing of relocation. Feels a bit like an old boys club at times.
