Pros

It's a good company to work for. They used to be M&I Data and then Metavante. Once company became FIS it took a bit for things to shake out and for us to not feel like the unwanted step children, but it's much better. Great ESPP program - can't be beat. Vacation was affected but has improved. The company lets you spread your wings. If you have an idea for improvement, run with it. You'll work hard, but you'll be successful.

Cons

Unfortunately this company does at least one layoff a year that typically affects 300+ people. Long time employees can get 6 months severance. The yearly raises are minimal. Unfortunately even if you work hard, you aren't protected from RIFs or low increases.

Pros

There are no reasons other than there checks don't bounce when you get paid.

Cons

They promote people for playing tekken and bedazzaling there shoes. The mgmt is very two faced and they don't want anybody to rock the boat. They want sheep who just do what there told. If you question there process or if you mention someone else that did something wrong, they turn it around on you and make it your fault.

Pros

Miss the old leadership which was highly ethical and competitive.

Cons

Since JB assumed leadership under MM at FIS, the organization has witnessed a deliberate dismantling of morale, competence, and trust—particularly within legacy teams (D1 LFI, RCB, D1B, BPS, etc.). What began as negligence has escalated into blatant discrimination against Indian employees, both in the US and India, with clear patterns of exclusionary practices. Critical Failures Requiring Immediate Action: Racial Bias in Hiring & Layoffs Disproportionate termination of Indian talent alongside aggressive hiring of white employees is not accidental—it’s systemic discrimination. Data will prove this bias. Authoritarian Decision-Making & Disenfranchisement Indian teams, despite being critical stakeholders, are routinely excluded from key decisions. This erodes trust and sabotages business success. Weaponized Reorganizations "Restructuring" is a smokescreen for forced attrition of high-performing talent, replaced by a culture of favoritism and incompetence. Zero Product Delivery, Only Excuses Six quarters of failure—no new products, no innovation. Just empty rhetoric, dead-end strategies, and blame-shifting ("dead cat"). JB has imported non-fintech leaders to replace proven experts, handing over critical functions to unqualified "yes-men" incapable of driving growth. This Is Beyond Poor Leadership—It’s Institutional Sabotage. Reputation Risk: FIS’s credibility as an inclusive, innovative fintech leader is collapsing. Business Risk: Digital products are being gutted by incompetent leadership. Legal Risk: Discriminatory practices invite scrutiny. We Demand: ✅ Immediate review of JB’s leadership—his tenure has been a disaster. ✅ Transparency in hiring/promotions—end the racial bias. ✅ Independent audit of restructuring decisions—expose the bias. The time for silence is over. Will FIS act, or continue enabling this failure?
