Pros

If you're placed on the right team then the people are great. Genuinely nice coworkers.

Cons

Let me start off by saying this company will make you move to Berkeley heights at some point if you want to keep your job. It might be right away but it will happen. And don't fall for the cool "executive park" or "co-working community" shtick because there is NOTHING UP THERE. Don't let the concept art for the yoga studio/movie theater/new apartments fool you, none of that exists yet. And no matter what HR tells you you'll absolutely need a car because there's no public transportation. While most companies embrace remote and hybrid work, Fiserv is pushing not only for more in office days, but firing people that don't comply with the move to Berkeley heights. If you don't care about having a social life outside of work and are ok with paying NJ taxes then go for it. About the layoffs-I don't know how the expect this company to stay afloat when they're firing and alienating their top talent. Get ready to pick up the slack of everyone that leaves your team with no adjustment to roadmaps or deadlines. Every designer has to start somewhere so I would recommend staying here for six months tops before moving onto a better job. There's little understanding or regard for the work designers do here. Executives lack design maturity. This is a great place to coast but not to grow as a designer.

Pros

- It's a job but I do not recommend Fiserv

Cons

- CEO mandated everyone to go into an office 5 days a week despite many companies offering remote options to attract talent. - Anyone who is not near an office will be asked to move or depart Fiserv by Q2 2022 - Leadership in all departments lack ability and empowerment to make positive changes - Tech stacks are older and limited budgets to modernize - Engineering skills across Fiserv are obsolete - attempts to hire talented engineers has been futile due to low pay bands, unfavorable culture, requirements to be in an office, and if hire you need to be in New Jesery - Employees have been told they are not important (yes, SVP said this on a Town Hall call) - CEO's direct leadership team lack ability to influence CEO (Top down leadership 100%) - Large amount of people are leaving due to bad culture, low pay, and poor leadership (many other things as well - too long to list) - CEO has to approve every back fill or new hire and approvals take six months or more - leaving many products with severe staffing shortages and those still here are over capacity and stressed - Approvals to get anything done takes months- even simple expense approvals - No empowerment even at the GM/VP level - Pay bands are 30% lower than market - salary increases will be limited - Fiserv tracks your every move - key card entry to the building is monitored to make sure you're going into the office every day - Fiserv installs monitoring software on your computer to monitor your daily activities. What apps you use, how long you spend in meetings, and every web site (internal and external) you visit - everything is tracked. - The culture lacks trust and treats everyone as a commodity. - Fiserv acquired my company right before Frank was announced the CEO - had we known this we would have blocked the acquisition. - Fiserv is losing top talent fast and when they hire talented individuals they leave quickly. - Benefits are the worse in the industry - Fiserv doesn't help the employee so you pay more for benefits than a competitor Recommend you avoid this company at all cost.

Pros

Average pay / benefits Flexibility with remote work, time off Talented and friendly people

Cons

Since the acquisition of First Data, the culture of the company took a turn for the toxic. Rampant burnout, aggressive and dishonest leadership, lack of direction, constant RIFs, poor outsourcing practices. The good people that are left are on their way out one way or another.
