Top Review Highlights by Sentiment
Reviews about "culture"
Return to all Reviews- Former Intern★★★★★
Pros
It's a company that really cares about its people. Lots of resources and support from Leadership Development Team throughout the internship and final presentation. Great opportunity to learn about the company and culture.
Cons
The summer internship grants A FEW interns fast track to the final round (panel) interview for Swire MT programme. For those who are not selected, you will be automatically rejected. The selection criteria is quite ambiguous and unclear. Personally find it quite disappointing that after completing the internship with a decent appraisal, we actually have less advantage for the MT programme application.
- Former Intern, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
good benefit a lot of support from HR structured programme not a bad salary nice people and culture
Cons
location is quite far (tung chung) a lot of bureaucracy
Continue reading - Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Good exposure - access to senior leaders, different job rotations in different departments / companies Good salary / housing allowance / relatively good annual leave for HK (starting at 20 days)
Cons
No choice where you work / what role you do, therefore can't drive your career yourself. Promotions / roles don't seem to be based on performance, rather the number of years service. No motivation to perform well to progress faster. Not flexible - no work from home, only 3 months maternity leave, not having a choice in location means you're expected to move wherever you are told - not very realistic if you have a partner who also has a career... Culture is not very diverse - they basically employ a lot of people from very privileged backgrounds, if you don't fit this can be hard to 'fit in'.

Pros
good package and good culture
Cons
I cannot tell any cons actually
- Former Intern, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Really interesting program which provides you a holistic view of the whole conglomerate structure. Really supportive culture with flat office hierarchy and lots of social occasions. Met some really amazing & intellectual people.
Cons
Possibly more technical training could be implemented.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Very international and chill. Provide a lot of overseas posting opportunities. Encourages learning and development. Colleagues are generally nice and helpful. Can enjoy discounted air tickets if you work for Cathay
Cons
In general, the company is quite bureaucratic. In the subsidiary offices like Cathay, culture is comparatively local and things are generally slow and inefficient. Their MT program is fun as you could travel around but you cannot stop travelling if you discovered one day you want to settle down in a place.

Pros
Good culture and working environment
Cons
Not sure about the cons
- Former Intern★★★★★
Pros
Diverse team composition and inclusive culture
Cons
People quite chur. OT always
- Former Employee, more than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
big company thus many benefits and protocols
Cons
outdated culture thus may be slow in change
- Current Intern★★★★★
Pros
Swire culture is exceptional with many senior leaders working their way up from their management trainee positions.
Cons
Upon completion of the internship process, return offers for the MT program are not decided right away. HR will select a few for 'fast-track interviews alongside other candidates for the MT position which will conflict with most applicant's recruiting timelines.
