FIS reviews

Many MANY people are promoted based on nothing more than a piece of paper that "says" they can perform, or favoritism. Payback(s) are a way of life here.

I worked in the Toronto office, which came along for the ride when FIS bought Sanchez Computer Associates way back when, so my experience may not be typical of this fairly large company. The main problem I experienced was that if you worked on the IT side, you didn't get any respect from the rest of the company, especially senior management. Management had this strange notion where if a developer leaves, he can be easily replaced with another off the street and the team can just carry on without missing a step. That's foolish to say the least, yet time and again key technical people would leave the company and they did nothing to improve the situation. Just another programmer, right? It was no wonder that clients were steadily moving to their competitors.
