Pros

Overall tries to still have a fun employee culture although that has decreased since the merger (versus Metavante in MIlwaukee as a stand-alone company) Again, depends on what your job is but if you work in a 'corporate function,' I think you have good visibility and networking opportunities that facilitate future moves within the company (i.e. if you wanted to take on a new job in another department, then you would have the credibility built up to do that)

Cons

The social culture that Metavante had and FIS still has mostly can also have the downside of feeling like high school - politics, the 'in club,' office gossip, etc The Milwaukee location has changed significantly in the last year or two as it is no longer the corporate headquarters - and employee satisfaction also decreased sharply as a result

Pros

Nine years of complex engineering challenges and professional growth. Strong camaraderie with talented colleagues across various engineering teams. Opportunities to work on high-impact projects and scalable infrastructure. Gained significant experience in complex system architecture and troubleshooting.

Cons

Abrupt end to a nine-year tenure without adequate transition or transparency. Heavy reliance on an aging, legacy tech stack that hinders innovation. Contradictory AI strategy: leadership mandates aggressive adoption while refusing to fund the necessary compute and tools for teams to actually implement it. Extreme short-term focus on EPS maximization at the direct expense of long-term stability and product health.
