Pros

-Work from home -Most teams are great to work with

Cons

-No Merit increases for 2020 because of financial reasons, although the Board voted to increase stock dividends and start a share buyback program just two months ago. -No bonuses for 2020, instead they decided to give out company stock to a select group of people that can be redeemed in August 2022 if you're still with the company at that time. -Mandatory 10% pay cut for contractors started January 2021. -Got rid of $3k yearly employee scholarship program that was available to yourself and children. -Got rid of $500 yearly charity match. -Constant reorgs of the company because it's been glued together from 40+ previous acquisitions. -Reduced the 401k company match from 1 to 1 on 5% to a 1 to .5 match on 6%.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate the time you have taken to write your review and are happy to hear that you appreciate the work from home policies at FIS. As you know, 2020 was an unprecedented year for the world and for FIS. We unexpectedly and quickly pivoted in several areas to ensure we were laser-focused on what’s important, and that is our colleagues, clients, and communities. This included investments in new health and safety protocols throughout the organization and new wellness programs, including COVID-19 time off and enhanced medical, well-being, and mental health resources. With that being said, FIS is not immune from the financial impact the pandemic has had on businesses globally. As a result, we are facing an unusual compensation year for 2021. We also encourage you to report any of your other stated concerns through your manager, a member of the People Office, or the FIS Ethics Hotline.

Pros

Most colleagues are well intentioned, but stretched beyond the max.

Cons

After filing for FMLA, my “leader” encouraged me not to involve HR in the future. The whole point of FMLA is job protection. Him making this suggestion, at best, seems highly unethical and potentially illegal. Some leaders are good with people. Others are more techno sound. The ones that can effectively do both are let go. It makes no sense and the company offers little transparency.
