Pros

Get to work remote now, although there is a strange push to get us back to the office...as a...tech company. No need. We've literally proven to be more productive working remote and those who want to continue this, should be allowed to without a forced hybrid return.

Cons

Not even cost of living increase was given for 2020. No stipend given in 2020 to cover additional costs of setting up home office (faster wifi, cover mobile costs, office furniture, monitors, mouse, keyboard, etc). No communications around promotions in 2021, just vague "it could happen, but probably only a title change with no increase in pay". This leaves me with no idea how to coach and mentor my directs. And then management is upset when people leave FIS.

Pros

Pro: This review is for the former SunGard business that was acquired by FIS a few years ago. -Work Remotely: The flexibility to work from home or remotely is a major perk -People: The boots on the ground (people who actually deliver) are extremely talented and great to work with.

Cons

-Benefits: Unless you live in Florida, the benefits/coverage is mediocre at best. -Career Development/advancement: There is no clear path if you want to get promoted. There are no system in place to help you achieve any career goals -The “Lean” Business Philosophy: heavy workloads spread upon to few resources. -Aging technology: Many of the “Core” products are built using older technology stacks and because of the “lean” philosophy replacing them is going to take forever. This is going to become a real problem in the next 5-10 years when product experts start to retire. Very little real innovation coming out of the company. -Management: Out of touch with the people who actually have to deliver. They want to become a top 100 company but will never get their without real investment in their people. Not just lip service. To the WordPlay people who FIS just acquired, get out now. Everything that was good about your company is going to change. I wish I had left sooner after FIS acquired SunGard

Pros

Food. Nothing else to say.

Cons

poor opportunities to grow in technical. Seniors are trying to pull down the newbies always for their survival. Senior management will never be worried about the concerns of the employees. Employees are not allowed to bring their thoughts in front of the team. A compulsory 75 days notice period. People are not allowed go out of the company even if they are ready to pay for the notice period. employee's previous experience will never be considered and they will be forced to do the crap works all the times. Compensation is very poor compared to the market standards. No Bonus. it's better to look for some other opportunity instead of joining here. At least your future will be saved. There is a team called "Prepaid solutions", which is the worst team in the company. This is not at all a development team but they claim this as a development team and spoil the future of developer by putting them in this team. During CMMI inspection they did show this team as a support team and got the CMMI Level 3 certification. HR will never review the concerns raised by employees. They will always go in hand with the manger whenever an issue is raised by an employee which leads to backfire for the employee who raises the issue to HR.
