Fiserv Senior Software Engineer reviews

Company lied about working from home policy. Worked 68 billable hours up to late Wednesday night of Thanksgiving week putting in a high priority job, then made me use 8 hours of PTO for Friday after Thanksgiving day. All but demolished the original bonus plan. The company once had a strong visionary presence in the technology arena. After being bought and sold too many times, and placed into the hands of people that have no clue how to run a technology firm, it isn't the place for engineers. Imagine if a group of Wall-street types purchased a hospital and tried to run it themselves. That's FiServ. Only, it's the Wall street types trying to run a tech business. They only understand and obey money. Anything else is irrelevant. This is why over the last 4 years, FiServ's ranks have been almost completely drained of all their top senior technical staff. They've been losing people almost faster than they can bring them in. Poor people skills in management - just short of being openly hostile to work / life balance. If you're not part of the oligarchy, then you're proletariat and subject to much disdain and public contrasting in corporate emails, meetings and hallway conversations. It's class-consciousness at its worst. If only they knew how foolish they look.

The products use complex technology and it can take a quite a while to learn.
