FIS reviews

This company does not trust its employees in the US. They remove all permissions from your laptop to basic maintenance. You can't even defrag your disk or remove temp files! Yet the Indian employees are given access to Production and all Client information, while US employees who have supported the Production platform for years are locked out! All this company cares about it making sure shareholders get big returns (The 1% who don't pay taxes) and to Hades giving you the tools to successfully do your job with high quality. They say they support remote, yet half the time you can't get connected because the dozen or so end point scanners running on your laptop blocks your connection. Helpdesk doesn't know what they are doing and can't work outside their scripts.

- Below-average compensation and benefits. - Not a team atmosphere, no sense of achievement or success, just a never-ending grind. - Execs lead through fear and publicly shame entire teams on mass e-mails. - Company is so big that you can go days to weeks without having a meaningful interaction with colleagues. - Advancement seems to be based on length of service more than ability; many people who are very nice, but not really cut out for managing people and/or projects performing management functions. - Decision makers are usually people with decades at FIS and little outside perspective; tool chains and processes are dated, with few opportunities to build skills applicable outside of FIS. - Internal communications openly tell employees that their #1 motivation should be to pump the FIS share price, company “values” are lip service and nothing more. - Delusional level of agile process worship and self-back-patting in meetings when most teams are in fact just putting an agile bow on waterfall practices. - Organizational politics constantly hamper collaboration between onshore and offshore teams.
